its about 9 liters or less for a 100 km/L travel(back and forth).

Do you mean you fill up your gas tank to full again once you have travelled 100 km to measure your km/liter reading? Coz what I do is I make the tank nearly to empty then I go for a full tank... so in short, sinasagad ko

my computation may not be the best way or the right way to do it.
the only thing which is accurate is the 100 km distance.

but if you do it on a daily basis, 5 days a week.
i think its enough to validate my fuel consumption.
my wife gives me 500 petot only a day.
350 for the gas(unleaded) and 150 for the toll.

if my computation is wrong, definitely i will ask for a raise in
my allowance... hehehe.

I inquired at Mazda, they don't do ECU upgrades

Wala bang naka-station wagon dito? Any comments?

Mazda USA does ECU reflashes for common problems on the older 323/Proteges... too bad our local unit doesn't do the same... and too bad whoever whas handling Mazda before never offered the reflash to cure the old 323 "guzzling" issues.

im getting 10 to 11 km/L for mixed driving (city/highway).

chevy optra is more fuel efficient on a long drive/out of town travel... it tends to loose it when it comes to city driving with all the traffic, all the stops and go...

I don't know whether that value is for pure highway driving or not, but 14kml is a value not all sedans could reach if we're talking about 1.6's to 2.0's (under normal driving habits, hindi econo-driving). Sana kung SUV pinaguusapan.

But I have to agree with you on the part that engine design sucks... particularly with its placing, together with the other parts, in the engine bay. Imagine, para makapagpalit ka ng bumbilya eh kelangan mo pa tanggalin ung headlight assy. mismo.

Hhmm.... 14km/l?? eh optra ko umaabot ng 16-17km/l sa highway with aircon on and 2-3 passengers tapos naka 18" rims pako ha!

Mamar... bro accurate value ba yan? As in tank is topped-up with fuel?

Kasi kung 60 liters ang tank (not to mention the 5 liters excess) sabay mileage is 16km/liter, that accounts to about 1020kms!!! Pwedeng ipangslap sa mukha ng Petron ah... hehe... to think na sedan pa gamit at hindi Jazz... sabay with aircon on pa.

Gotta try highway driving more... I just have to! Niyayaya ako ng challenge! hehehehe

CORRECTION: Dehins din pala... kasi yun may halo pang city driving eh? Sayang!

bakit sa inyo ganun yung fuel economy. my full tank will only get me over 400++km till reserve light goes on. At first i thought it had average consumption since i assumed it has only 50L in the gas tank. But since i read that it had 60L. compute that and it will give you just around 7+km/L lang. Now that is bad for a 1.6L car even if its an automatic. This is mostly city, sometimes highway. minimal traffic and economical driving na ito.

yes bro accurate ung figures kasi un laging lumalabas eh! last time i checked 16.2km/l ako! lagi kasi ako bumabyahe ng lipa and everytime na bumabyahe ako lagi ko chinechek eh!
malaki tinipid nung oto mula nag full synthethic oil ako!

Pure highway driving nga pala un! kung may traffic man minimal lang!
