    Don’t bother about the speed, just floor that gas pedal and hit 6000 rpm once in a while. Just kidding. hehehe

    Maybe let the car cruise at a speed equivalent to a steady rpm of 2500-3000.

    As Egan posted, just floor it. Preferably near redline.

    It's easier with MT., because you control the shifting of the gears.

    if AT, put it to D1 or D2, then "step on it".

    If DCT or CVT, use the paddle/rocker shifters to keep it 3rd or 4th gear while flooring the gas pedal.

    I think its 93 octane minimum.. medyo heavy footed ako at hataw din pag may chance pero sa xcs lang naman sya may knocking, sluggish, high fc at may pungent smell.. tried unioil 95 euro5 fuel ok naman parang blaze din.. naka fleet card kasi ako (benefit) from petron kaya no choice but to use blaze

    How fast can a Picanto do on the open highway? I keep on wondering how much punishment the engines of these small cars (Picanto, Wigo, Mirage, Celerio) can take.

    i have a wigo.
    it's not so much the punishment the car can take.
    it's how scared am i willing to get.

    60? kotse ako!
    heh heh.

    but i confess, just to compare.
    with our other gasoline cars, 120, as you know, is so easy, i absentmindedly go over it from time to time.

    Based on the figures above, Yapoy’s Picanto is only doing around 7.5 km/L on XCS. That’s a bit high for a small car.

    that's terrible!
    although, the old hyundai getz got something like that, according to published literature.
    there's also this brouhaha some years ago, about a picanto owner who complained loudly to kia and in the media, that his picanto wasn't "as frugal as what he was made to believe".

    our wigo AT, started out at 7 km/li, zero odometer reading.
    today, having done 30K km, it regularly does 10-11-12 km/li in the city.

    However, when Yapoy is using Blaze, he gets around 11 km/L.

    Why would the small Kia engine require too high a RON to achieve better fuel efficiency figures?

    either "he's doing something he's not aware of".
    or, there's something wrong with his car.

    Seriously? I never redlined in my entire life. I'm scared I will blow up the engine. LOL.

    I regularly traverse the skyway (at least once a month). My problem is I can't go beyond 140 anymore. Because when I do, I have difficulty controlling the steering wheel

what gasoline do you use.
