    Maybe that was part of the shock and awe?

    Oops getting OT sorry hehe...
    I doubt you are getting 15mpg on your diesel mixed city and highway.

    pag hinintay mo kase mag warning, baka lahat ng dumi sa fuel tank mapunta sa linya ng fuel. baka magkaroon pa ng clogging sa filter mo.

    ako, i do it at night time for no particular reason with the heat. kasi eto lang time na pwede ko pagas. i do full tank about every 2-3 weeks or half tank (which ever comes first).

    yup, i heard there is this logical reason na mas maganda magpa gas when the temp is cool. lalo na pag mga 100 100 or 200 ka maglagay ng gas. parang mas condensed ata ang gas when the temp is cool. Unlike pag mid day na parang expanded ata sya or something like that kaya mas konti naka karga sa oto mo.

    Typically once a week, mga 35 to 39 liters (45 liters ang tank).

    Dito ako sa pasig kumakarga, so kung makikita ko na di na ako makakabalik the next day na di naka-ilaw ang low fuel warning, kakarga na ako. For the past weeks every friday. Kasi, every saturday, early morning nagtataas ang gas.

    Pero kung may out of town trip ng week end, kahit na 3/4 full pa, kakarga na ako to the brim. Mga 40+ km ang byahe ko at night pa uwi sa bahay, so by the time nasa house na ako, may space na ang gas para mag expand sa init the next day.

    No but I recently found a fuel leak, so there goes the last $40 I spent on fuel.

    i think negligible ang thermal expansion ng fuel natin kasi buried or underground ang storage tank ng mga yan, meaning almost consistent ang temperature kasi unexposed. ang hindi lang maganda kung daytime ka magpakarga is that you have to turn off the engine and of course the aircon, so uncomfortably mainit ang ma-feel mo.

    thanks for giving me an idea. sa mahal ba naman ng gas ngayon, almost 49 pesos na per liter and every week tumataas.. malaking tulong ito sa atin kung totoo man na mas maganda nga magpa gas up sa gabi because of "gasoline expansion", and dun din sa fuel filter. another question totoo ba na, pagtaas ng octane rating pagtipid ng fuel consumption at paglakas ng hatak? right now im loading unleaded gas (93ron) so pag nag shift kaya ako sa premium (95ron) mas titipid kaya ako sa FC? 50cents din kasi ang difference between the two gasoline. sa manual ko 93ron-up ang dapat kong gamitin na fuel.

    Unless you have a high compression engine the higher octane will just make your wallet lighter. Any improvement will be neglible compared to the higher cost of the gas.

    sir glenn, yes its true na mas matipid ng konte yung 95 ron or vpower kesa unleaded... i just dont know if its really "sulit" for the price you pay. dati vpower gamit ko, then switch back to unleaded kasi parang sobrang mahal ng vpower for me.
