How to improve my gas consumption..?

[kentrials]

I have this toyota corolla 96 XE

my gas consumption now is 8.5 to 9 km per liter city driving kapag long drive i reach about 14 to 15 km per liter..

I would like to improve my gas consumption in city driving.. masaya na aku if aabot ng 11 km per liter city drive..


any suggestion?.. how to drive?.. parts to change? parts to be checked?

na uubos ang salary ko sa gasolina lng

try mo muna basic tune-up, change all the filters clean maf sensors.

Matipid na yan sayo, kami nga mga innova user, masaya na sa 8km/liter na city drive, ang swerte na kapag napa 8km/liter yung sa amin.

[jodski]

Look around sa other FC thread dito and compare...maganda pa yang sa iyo for city driving

Try mo rin muna suggestions ni Retz.

Other way to resolve regarding sa short budget naman is to commute na lang then I schedule mo na lang pag gamit ng auto kung talagang kailangan. (Try to imagine na parang coding ka on that day )

You should already be happy, mine is only 5.5 km/liter. Pero it is acceptable to me.

Try driving with a lighter right foot and maintain rev below 2000rpm. Monitor if this improves your mileage.

sorry but i disagree with this... the size of your innova is not comparable with the corolla sedan and should differ in their respective FC

i agree with this, start with the basics

i dont know about the TS but that is already matipid imho. our corolla with 2e engine goes 8km/li city.

my 1.3 vios got 12km/li lately but that already fuel injected.

if the TS uses the car daily and accumulates lots of mileage, maybe an lpg retrofit might be an option...

try HHO

pagawa ka ng hho generator sa kakilala mo na di ka ma rip-off or kung kaya mo gawin mo nalang.

pede din yung dry cell sa states nga lang nabibili

all you need is 316 stainless steel tapos electrolyte.

imo, minsan nasa tapak lang ng driver sa gas pedal ang ikatitipid ng sasakyan :sweat:

[K.I.L.L.]

Lessen your rolling resistance by maintaining optimum tyre inflation and do not go beyond 2000 rpm. Good luck! I wish I had your fuel consumption.

[nivraarvin]

Have your wheels checked din for alignment.

Maghanap ka ng mga kapitbahay or ka opismate mo na pwede i-occupy ung empty seats sa car mo. Shempre magbabayad sila ng fare, ung fare na ibabayad sayo ipandagdag mo sa pambili mo ng gas, you will get more milage, wag lang mauwi sa relationship with your new found passengers kasi lalo tataas ang expenses mo

Move to the province para 14 to 15km/L lagi FC mo? :D

Kidding aside, 8.5 to 9km/L for city driving is already good for the 2E. Best you can do is to keep your air fiter clean, carb tuning, spark plugs and engine timing in check. Use the A/C less, inflate your tires to around 33-35psi (cold), and plan your trips (leave early, go home late, etc.).

Other options:
- commute
- car pool
- LPG

BTW, hampasin nyo ng martilyo yung nag sabi na ipalinis ang MAF sensor ng 2E.

[jansky]

work early, go home late - para di ka sumasabay sa traffic at pag maaga ka di mo naman kailangang mag aircon kasi malamig pa naman
- find different route.. mahaba pero less traffic, kaysa malapit ka lang pero 1hr ka sa traffic

yah maybe I should start with this..



after reading all your replies I already feel lucky with my gas consumption 9km per liter.. city drive..
If RETZ is right and it improves my gas consumption, I let you know
Im bringing my car to the shop tomorow

BTW ano727 anu sasakyan mo? ang baba nman ng gas ratio 5.5km per liter?..

nice one

Once you've done the tune-up, spark plugs and etcetera, there's a little more you can do.

1. Rolling Resistance: Assuming your tires are in decent condition (and if they're not, consider replacing them... you shouldn't keep tires for more than five or six years, even if they're not bald), inflate them beyond the door sticker pressure. For typical car tires, you will see massive reductions in rolling resistanceat up to 40 psi, after which, improvements drop off. 35 is a good midpoint. I've seen some service drivers use 45 psi in their car tires (truck tires are at around 50-60 psi standard). Only issue from doing this is it will hurt hijjus if you drive over rough roads all the time.

2. Start-up: Don't idle your car in the morning.

Repeat: DON'T IDLE YOUR CAR. Once you've checked your water and oil level, start the car, buckle in and adjust your mirrors and seat. The time you take to buckle in and get comfortable is all the time it takes for the oil to start circulating. Drive off as soon as possible.A cold car and carb use craploads of gas, so you might as well get a few kilometers out of them while the car is warming up.

3. Pulse and glide: You don't need to use gas every single second the car is moving. If you're coming up on a stoplight and intersection, just use enough gas to get going, then coast down to your target speed. In steady moving traffic, this is difficult, and it will get people mad at you, but traffic is not steady moving. Do it properly and nobody will notice you're doing it.

4. Brake less: Drive as if your brakes are dead. In other words, leave space enough so that if the guy in front of you brakes to a stop, you don't have to brake right away. Less stress pa. You won't be cursing and slamming on your brakes. This saves gas because you need gas to build up speed. If you use the brakes, you're scrubbing off all that speed you gained, and have wasted your gasoline investment.

5. Anticipate. Plan: If you pass lights with timers or are familiar with the traffic lights in your area, anticipate when they'll turn red or green. If you can coast down to a light without using the brakes, getting there just as it turns green, good. If you can avoid a red light by speeding up a bit, do so. Wasting some gas for a little more speed is better than idling at the stoplight for the next two minutes. Also, you know that jeepneys stop. All the time. Don't follow them too closely. Plan your overtakes ahead of time so you'll use as little gas as possible overtaking. Remember, also, that too slow is also a waste of gas. Dawdling along at 20 km/h leads to terrible economy. You should get best economy at around 40 km/h in the city and around 70 km/h on the highway.

Good luck!

wag bomba ng bomba..wag tumapak mabuti sa arangkada makaka rating kadin naman..
kapag napanasin mo ng malapit kana sa stop ligths at nakita mo ng red bitawan mo na gas pedal mo..
