fuel economizing driving technique?

[RafRaf]

ian_rex, hindi ba naglalug yung engine kapag nagshift on 1500rpm?

[kuljaw]

edzzz, matipid nga yung naka neutral habang tumatakbo ng 80 t0 90, kaso napakadelikado nun..kasi free wheel ka...al four wheels, so medyo di pantay ang control, di tulad ng engaged ang gears mo..yung 2 sa front or back..stable sila...

[kuljaw]

sync3 yung bm depende sa speed at gears mo....kung naka high gear syempre mababa na ang naka register dun sa energy control ( yung sa ibaba ng tacho) and thats in litres/100 kilometers

[ian_rex]

rafraf, not really. ok lang yun since the peak torque of 4JH1-TC is * 2000 rpm beyond that wala nang torque.

noteworthy27, spoilers accounts for the drag. unless you are reaching the speeds of 200+ kph all the time, ever wonder why the porsche has its downforce retractable? i guess it is for efficiency reasons.

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...

I think kelangan I-revive ang topic na ito....32.++ na ang XCS!!!!!more tips guys!!!!!

[marv0083]

guys tanong lang which is efficient

reving the car faster to 2000rpm then shift then when u achieve the final gear cruise at 2krpm

or rev the car slower to 2000rpm then shift (same thing)

[pixelparadigm]

Lower revs in higher gear doesn't necessarily translate to better fuel economy. VVT-equipped engines can comfortably cruise in 2000rpms. While older engines needs to be revved more before shifting to higher gear. Cars differ in gear ratios and engine power curve, so there's a sweet spot in shifting. In my case, I'll find the best RPM to shift when I can press the gas pedal the most lightest.

“Coffee Cup in the Dash” Principle – The principle is to have an imaginary “coffee cup full of coffee” in the dashboard without spilling the content.

ok na tip ito ah

eh, kung mag lagay nalang ng hula dancer o di ba yung bobble head figures sa dashboard?

the more the hula dancer sways or the more the bobble head bobs its head up and down, the higher the fuel consumption????

hyuk, hyuk, hyuk

[RedHorse]

noong test drive ko with my boss, talagang meron syang coffee cup full of coffee he he he

for a few seconds dinala ko sa 100 down to 40 sa isang curve then park... pasado!
