    Learn to "boost and cruise" especially if the road & traffic condition permits it. It means to moderately accelerate to a certain speed then coast the car as long as you can.

    Smooth driving. Do not suddenly apply the accelerator and brake because that will burn more fuel.

    Always have your tires properly inflated.

    Energy saving motor oil (lighter grade motor oil) actually helps get more fuel mileage by reducing internal engine load.

    Which would be more economical - speed up a little to catch a green light, or travel at your normal rate and have to idle at a red light?

    IMO it pays to know your environment on this one. Meaning, knowing the timing of changes in stop lights in the road you frequently use. For me, speed up a little to the green light in major intersections since the stop light is on for a longer time. In some intersection just drive casually.
    Fasten your seatbelt! Or else... Driven To Thrill!

    I once read that you should drive as if may itlog kang inaapakan sa ilalim ng accelerator haha. In other words, be light when stepping at the gas pedal. Earlier shifting helps, so long as it doesnt hurt the engine of course.

    Coast in gear when the conditions are right, instead of accelerating even though you can see that cars are already slowing down or stopped a couple of hundred meters ahead.

    Hi just a quick question. I have a Civic FD 2009 1.8S A/T and the fuel consumption is 7.24km/L city driving mostly and moderate traffic. Okay lang po ba yun base from the age of the car and sa mileage nya na 84,400+km driven already?

    Oh okay thanks bro, kasi itry ko palagi na di aabot 2.5krpm yung torque, minsan na minsan lang aabot ng 2.5k rpm. akala ko kasi dahil umabot yan ng 7.24km/L is because di ako masyado harass sa gas pedal.

    Why spoil the fun? You mean to say that you are limiting the revs to 2500 rpm. Peak torque arrives at 4k rpm for the R18 engine and peak power comes at 6k rpm. Limiting its revs to below 2500 rpm is like putting chains on the legs of the horse.

    If driven aggressively, you might end up doing around 7 km/L but you have more fun. Bring it to the highway and let it rip.
