Post Your Average Fuel Consumption [Merged]

[me_jake13]

hehe just kidding niky. pero seriously nagpakabit ako and i really do think na nakatulong sha to bring up my avg km/l to 7-8 km. GAS.SAVER talaga ang brand name.

[konde]

niky::: san ka nagpaayos ng exhaust manifold?

For my S40, 2.4L 5 cylinder engine, trip computer says...

14L/100km so about 7.1 km per liter.

But for highway driving, definitely over 10km per liter.

[niky]

okay ang 7.1, ah... I'd always heard that the Volvos weren't so fuel efficient... di naman turbo version, though... right?

haha... mejake_13, no gas saver can match prudent driving... and that's a proven fact. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cains1/Fuel_saving.htm

konde, sa gomags ako pumunta (in laguna), pero freemuff in pasay can do it... BROKEN KASI ANG EXAUST GASKET KO DATI KAYA NAGKAPROBLEMA... would seem like a minor thing, air escaping from the exhaust... pero anlakas nyang kumain sa gas!

96 civic matic 500 pesos 150 kph city driving. sa south naman from osmena highway to sta rosa then ikot lang pabalik sa osmena highway bumaba lang ng konti sa gas ko. medyo angat lang ng konti sa gitna then pagbalik nasa gitna na. takbo ko is 80 to120kph. :D

[ryan]

Yup, non-turbo version yung akin. Its my first Volvo so medyo nagtaka ren me although may trip computer sya so I wouldnt think mali reading nya.

14L/100 km for purely city driving sya. I think if say commute ko is tipong dumadaan sa Edsa or any big roads, might be even better.

For my CRV 2.0L, I feel halos parehas lang fuel consumption sa Volvo.

tanong lang, pano niyo kinocompute ung average km/l? tantyahan na lang? pano? parang anlakas kasi sa gas ng kotse ko e. halos 150 pesos from bacoor, cavite to manila city hall tapos hanggang pagbalik. ubos ung 150 o minsan kulang pa. kotse civic 98 lxi. mods headers air simota filter saka muffler sa tabi tabi. hehehe.

salamat

niky, i read ung article. i agree with the writer pero i guess agree din ako with the product i bought..hehe..hirap din kasi magtipid sa car ko coz automatic e..pero it did say sa article na these devices may have more effects on old cars, e 77 model benz ko na carburator pa kaya medyo bilib din ako na i get that much km/L sa car ko..

[niky]

oh well, me_jake13... kung luma nga pala, it's alright. :D

ryan, that's pretty average for such a big engine in traffic... be thankful it's not worse.

flakez, how far away are you?... kung 300p total, and considering that's mixed highway/city, that's 11.5 liters (correct ba?)... bacoor is pretty far, maybe 30-40km... so that might be 80++ km... so it's a ballpark figure of around 7 km/l or 14 l / 100km. If you want to know for sure, the best way is to buy a full tank of gas (one click from the top...), set your trip meter, or, if you don't have one, check your odometer reading. Drive it until the tank is almost empty (which may take a few days to a few weeks, depending on how often you travel.

Then buy another full tank. Mark the amount on the pump and compare it to the number of kilometers added to your odometer or trip meter... (remember, rightmost number is often colored differently... this is 1/10th km)

kilometers divided by liters is your km/l, while liters divided by kilometers multiplied by 100 is your liters per 100 km.

For an LXi, you should be getting 10-14km/l (mixed city/province driving) or 8 or lower liters per 100 km. But if you're modified and like to drive fast, you will definitely use lots of gas.

Mercury Sable V6 3.0
21 mi/gal - mixed city and highway or 8.4 km/liter

Pontiac Grand Prix GT V6 3.8

Hindi ko 'yan mga kotse. Mga rental cars that I have driven, and currently am driving this guzzler Pontiac.
