thus its a swirl intake type.

and it was made somewhere in 1982~1988

1982 - S - SOHC/DOHC
  • 1982-1988 - 1.8 L (1832 cc) 1S
  • 1982-1987 - 2.0 L (1995 cc) 2S
  • 1985-2005 - 2.0 L (1998 cc) 3S
  • 1987-1998 - 1.8 L (1838 cc) 4S
  • 1990-1995 - 2.2 L (2164 cc) 5S
Its a 1st gen. so it has a 1.8L Displacement.
but im thinking why it consumes much fuel?
eventhough we had it newly tuned up.
any thoughts?

thanks!

small displacement engines will consume a lot of fuel if it is installed in a heavy vehicle. there is a mismatch between engine power and vehicle weight (power to weight ratio is low). because of this, the engine needs to rev more to pull (or push) the vehicle
