tolerable na yung consumption. feeling ko gaganda pa after tuning the engine. and halos once a month lang ako nagpapagas since may company car naman akong ginagamit araw-araw. so pang coding nalang yung galant, at least di nalalaspag

I'd like to post my latest Kia Picanto fuel mileage on my trip to Baguio City last weekend.
Filled up unleaded gas to full tank at Shell Sison, near Kennon-Rosario Junction Road where odometer read: 17611.
Went up to Baguio via Kennon Road and spent two days sightseeing including a trip to La Trinidad at the strawberry farm.
Went down from Baguio this time via Marcos Highway, and filled up tank to full at Shell Ortigas for 27.23 liters where odometer read 18001.
Fuel mileage= (18001-17611)/27.23= 14.32km/liter
Driving condition: two adults, one child plus baggage
Air con turned off going up Kennon Road and at Baguio.
Low gear rpm going downhill at Marcos Highway reached up to 4500 at certain points.
The car had no problems at all negotiating the winding uphill climb at Kennon Road.
On my OBC (on board computer) it sometimes says 5mpg when I'm really flooring the car. On highway driving I usually get away with 22mpg. On cruise control mode, I've got as high as 28mpg.
- only mod that time was intake
- aircon on
- combination of city and highway driving
- shifting at 2K rpm (2.5K during uphill)
- no KHAOS or acetone
- Oil was Elf semi-synthetic 15W-50 but not that new at the time of test
