of course timing is a must. Iwasan ang katatapak ng preno, anticipate your distance hindi tutok para maiwasan ng preno. Remember, accelaration gulp too much gas.
Have it adjusted to its factory specs, tune it up to its optimal performance, and then from there adjust your driving habits. Remember, braking is wasted energy (in the form of heat) so use momentum as long as you can. Accelerate slower, and avoid decelerating. If you must, do so well before your estimated stopping point to minimize loss of momentum. Adjust tire pressures too, that helps attain good fuel economy, and finally remove any junk in your car that you don't need.
You can't do much really, since your car is an automatic. A/T equipped cars tend to consume more fuel than M/T equipped cars of the exact same specifications. If you don't know when it's last been done, have the ATF replaced too - drain and refill lang yan wag mo na ipa-flush.
you can try doing hyper-mileing techniques when possible to stretch to the maximum each liter of fuel you have.
-smooth and easy acceleration
-moderate maximum speed
-use coasting as much as possible
-use the brakes as little as possible
-use the car's natural deceleration as you slow to a stop at intersections
If you're exhaust system has been altered... ika nga, baka naka hedders or maingay na pipe ka... you need to restore it to the factory muffler or exhaust systems.
Bukod sa tahimik ito, it is also designed to give the right back pressure to your engine which is helpful in keeping your engine economical to use. Giving it the right back pressure makes it burn fuel more completely. There will be lesser unburned fuel in your exhaust pipes.
Some people would install a pipe - one size smaller at the end... this is ok if you are not driving hard or fast. Medyo torquey at low power bands... pero sakal ang makina pag hi-speed driving na.
Your Tyre Pressure also plays a huge role in fuel savings. the lesser the rolling resistance... the better. Increase your air pressure to about 33 PSi. Medyo mas matigas ito than the standard 28 PSi... but since you want to save fuel, I am sure you will be driving a lot slower than 80kph... if you are coasting... mas mahaba haba ang tatakbuhin ng kotse mo when you put it in neutral after making enough bwelo.
Lito Dulce once ran an mileage race... I forgot his navigators' name... he once mentioned that he put 90PSi on all his tyres that time.
In slalom racing... we put 35PSi... I guess you can try it too. Dont worry, your tires are built to withstand pressures more than 60PSi.
bro,1) Don't go beyond 80km/h,2) set your tire pressure to highest( ex 28lbs - 30lbs (manual)) set to 30lbs3) change regularly or adavance your air filter & oil change- this affect engine RPM4) remove un-nesary load into your car- - like bull bar front(pero kung hindi kaya, bawi na lang sa iba) / reear, excess gear oil/transmision oil.5) don't full tank your gas set it to 75% only - - excess weight of fuel6) try different gas station(shell/petron/caltex) for your gas, pick the highest out put(F/c) start with caltex, base on tread here maganda ang performance nito....
ngaun mga bro dapat na tlg natin pa tune up ang atin mga tsikot,,kc sobrang mahal na ng gasolina ngaun..iadjust na ang mga dapat iadjust![]()
Nice read for this newbie. Thanks guys. Just another newbie question... been trying to go through the different threads (having a hard time as my browser is reporting tsikot as an attack site), but I've yet to see a thread that recommends a good non-casa garage where I can have my 98 Camry tuned. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! (most convenient location: Makati, Manila)
what kind of tuning? stock parameters are pretty much fixed na. just do the regular maintenance to bring it back into tip top condition.
