Fuel economy question

[ssaloon]

with all things being equal, e.g. driving style, daily route/distance travelled, etc, would a person get better fuel economy if he gases up P200 per day which would last him 5 working days or gas P1000 sa isang bagsakan which last him the same number of days?

alin sa 2 situations ang magbibigay ng better fuel economy? just wondering.

tnx!

the lighter the better kaya you will get better fuel economy sa Php 200 per day...karga ka lang palagi sa same gas station, same pump, same time of the day, same fuel (RON)...

A lighter fuel load will give you better fuel economy.

Its not just your driving style but maintenance of your vehicle is also important.

Regular change oil
change fuel filter, air filter
spark plugs
right amount of tire pressure
correct wheel alignment etc. etc.

P200 a day would be better.

[empy]

agree, but you waste the fuel saved with the extra trips to the gas station

[rodcarolino]

isama mo na rin yung evaporation ng gasoline

OT: napansin ko ang daming di madisplay na signature sa tsikot ah... nag-expire din ba mga montypics accounts ninyo?

200 per day is more economical lalo na if you gas up at night since fuel is more dense at cold temps meaning you'll get a little more.

OT: yup, di ko nga rin alam gagawin ko eh.

OO nga ano, gassing up at night should give you slightly more gas ,parang F1 trick, they chill the gasoline before a race. Plus the lighter traffic at night should give you better mileage figures...

Ako, instead of gassing up na tig 200 pesos, I add gas by the liter 10 liters, or 15 liters, etc... its easier for me to compute the mileage at the next opportunity that I fill up the tank (which rarely happens).

On a related note, may significant effect ba sa mileage ninyo yung brand ng gasoline that you use ? Or basta pareho octane rating, pare-pareho lang sila ?

gawin mo nang mga 500 para maraming nakakarga sa tangke..pati ung konting-konting natitira sa gas hose eh napupunta sa tangke mo.

Its actually worst to gas up early evening (around 5-9pm) since the fuel tank sa gas station has been exposed to the heat of the sun the whole day and is less dense at that time. It's best to gas up early in the morning since the fuel in the gas station's tank has presumably cooled down overnight and is more dense at that time.

oo nga noh..?

[sauman]

nag papa full tank na ako by the time umabot na ng 150 kms na tinakbo ng trip meter ko, in my case sa lapit ng biyahe ko umaabot ito ng 1 to 2 weeks. Also pag nagpapagas ako hindi ko pinapalagay sa automatic yung gas pump nila laging manual lang, napapansin ko parang mas marami ang amt ng gas kinakarga ko pag naka-automatic yung gas pump nila siguro nga hangin muna yung unang binubuga nung pump pag naka-auto

[xpac]

yeah sauman, i do the same. i ask the gas boy to fill it up slowly medyo matagal nga lang kasi 500 bucks pa-karga ko.
