fuel economizing driving technique?

[bluebabycry]

this is a nice thread! lalo ngayon sigarado maraming out of town, kami byahe kaming ilocos bukas.

a lot of good advices...
so keep posting

[luckytruck]

ang ginawa ko ang da best:

sold my 4x4 F150 na naka 33" tires and bought a local gen 2 Pajero.

hindi lang night and day, parang earth and pluto ang difference in fuel consumption

kung nagtitipid ka, gaya ko, and palaging may karga (scuba diving gear), mag diesel ka na, then follow the techniques listed.

dive naman tayo luckytruck! hehe I agree with luckytruck! hehe

Isa pang fuel saving tip:

FOLLOW ALL OF THE TRAFFIC RULES..!!

Let's say na nasa 10% lang ng mga Filipino Drivers ang mga talagang sumusunod dito.

Kung masasabi mong kasama ka dito..maswerte ka na. You save fuel.

tanchahin mo rin kapag malayo ka palang sa stop light at nakita mong naka stop pa...timingan mo na mag memenor ka lang at hindi mo na kailangan mag breaks..

errr..ang hirap i explain sa net..grrr

does shifting to nuetral (using the vehicles inertia) on highway at 80-90kph, then pshing back up when getting down to 65-70kph help in economizing? isn't this like idling your engine thus consumes fuel uneccessarily?

nyay!mas magastos pa yan...hindi dahil sa idling..kundi dahil kapag dumating ung time na aapakan mo ulit ung pedal..mag pupump nanaman ng diesel yan...kaya nga dapat..as much as possible ay constant ang apak mo sa pedal..reduce mo ung pabago bago....

example: makikita/ maririnig mo ung mga jeep na ganito ang tunog..." VRRRRROOOOMMMM.......VROOOOOMMMMMM.....VRRROOOOOMM MM" <<<PAG GANYAN ang tunog..diba inaapakan tapos release ang pedal?tapos apak...tapos release nanaman....

akala nila nakakatipid sila sa ganun..mas magastos pa yan.

galing ni sir glennster mag explain ah hehehe...

[luckytruck]

noteworthy, kung mapadpad ka dito sa gen. santos, dive tayo

[notEworthy27]

great! sige pm na lang kita if we do make plans hehe ano ba ang magandang lugar dyan?

[luckytruck]

i do a lot of diving at our resort in tinoto. its about 30 minutes lang from the city center.

next week i am going to kiamba to re-visit the offshore sunken reef. i saw sharks there about 6 years ago, hopefully meron pa rin.

my dad is trying to fix up a glorified bangka para gawing parang live-aboard pinoy style, yung may katig pa.

agree ako sa sinabi ni sir glenster. magmula nang ako na ang nagpapa-gas ng kotse (Civic) natuto na ako magtipid. bad trip, mahal kasi ang gas e. unlike sa diesel (DMax), mura pero matipid. ok balik tayo sa sinabi ni sir glenster. maintaining a specific engine revs contributes to fuel efficiency. let's put it this way: easing the accelerator pedal producing vacuum that sucks the fuel, most especially when running at high rpm's. unlike maintaining a steady pressure on the gas pedal, the fuel pumped into the engine is stabilized at a certain point. syempre, hindi laging constant there are times na kelangang mag-brake, etc. pero try to keep the same engine speed if ever possible.

i've been singing my praises with the DMax's fuel efficiency. Combining the tricks I've learned, I can rip the fuel consumption to 11km per liter on city driving. But i know deep inside kaya pang bumaba yun, just figuring out how. On the part of the Civic naman, constant na 10 km/liter kahit 8 years old na siya. The drawback lang is, mahal talaga ang gasolina...

try no din ito mga peeps, medyo killjoy nga lang pero effective. Maintain nyo lang ang speed nyo sa highway ng 80 km/h ang maximum and 60 km/h ang minimum. you'll see how efficient these speeds are. also, the engine rpm should be about 2000 lang para talagang matipid...

thanks!

I agree!!!!ganyan din ginagawa ko,I shift gear *2000 RPM,and maintain 80 to 60 kph speed * 5th gear most of the time,kaya nasa 2000 RPM pa rin ako at that speed.I just let others pass me by,pero pag maangas yung overtake,like i-cucut ka pa,thats the time I rev up and show the true power of Honda!!!!hehehehehehehehe...Minsan lang naman...

[orly_andico]

one of my friends always told me, use 1st gear ONLY to get rolling, once you're rolling, no need to go back to 1st gear.

The best talaga itong thread na ito... sarap alik-balikan.

ok. i have read something in the paper today. and i think i should be adapting to it. the motoring section today (4/15/04) featured the eco-drive by Isuzu (attention sir ungas and sir redhorse, is it true that only 13km lang result nyo? how come?). as part of the test, there are few things i would like to test.

the following are:

1) constant speed * 50-70 kph
2) rpm range of not more than 1500.
3) as much as possible no abrupt braking.


my objective is to test these techniques on city driving, which is, seem impossible due to traffic jams. but my daily route includes a brief highway driving. therefore, it will be a combination of city/highway driving conditions.
currently, i consume 11 km per liter and i target to reach at least 12 km per liter.

wish me luck! hehehe

1. 55 mph cruising speed
2. use your cruise control if you have to
3. don't warm up too much before driving your car. lalo na mainit ang climate sa Philippines. I remember nung umuwi ako sa Pilipinas nung 2000, my cousin's husband would warm up the car by idling it for more than 10 minutes. E kumakalat ang amoy dun sa compound and my aunts complain about it. Imma kick his ass next time na umuwi ako at ginagawa pa rin nya yon.

[Ungas]

Yep, that was the stats I remembered. Mahirap kasi timplahin yung matic diesel. Overdrive gear will kick in only of we reach 80km/h speed. Gradual acceleration by limiting the revolution to shift as early as 1500-1700rpm. We could have raised it more if downhill was engaged in neutral. Drifting on biggre trucks at expressways. But safety comes into mind and didn't do much of our plan.

Kaya po ma-attain yung 11km/L consumption on daily driving. :D
