    Relative naman yung malakas sa gas.

    My 1.8 FC averages 9.5km/l and natitipiran ako dun.

    The FD might average lower than that, but still okay lang for me.

    Kung concern mo nga ang fuel consumption, better get a subcompact na lang.

    But one this is for sure, cross out the SIR. It's too old, time to move on hehe.

    So malakas po talaga sa gas yung fd?
    Here’s a tip: If you’re seeking performance, you don’t aim for fuel efficiency. A powerful engine is not usually fuel efficient. Also, peak power is available at the top of the rev range. High rpms does nor equate to fuel efficiency.

    Not exactly true. My Fiesta Ecoboost 1.0L turbo is not as efficient as Honda’s 1.5L NA engine. It is more like 8 km/L on normal city driving routes, even worse with BGC or Makati CBD traffic.

    A fellow car enthusiast drives a Focus 1.5L Ecoboost and he is getting 6-7 km/L. Good enough for an engine rated 180hp/240Nm but that FC is already midsize car or CUV range.

    Thank you!!

    -Speed & Acceleration-
    stage 1:

    cold air intake

    header, aftermarket exhaust

    stage 2:

    60 mm throttle body, stage 2 cam, 410 cc fuel injectors, cylinderhead porting

    this:

    got budget?

    supercharger kit (like Jackson Racing)

    replace pistons (lower compression)

    2.5 inch exhaust piping

    even larger fuel injectors (630 cc)

    high pressure fuel pump

    ^^^ with the mods stated above, it would be better to spend for a more powerful car instead.

    There are people who are never satsfied with stock

    Yeah one can always buy a faster car

    But even those who bought "faster" cars can't leave the cars alone

    Dati when I was still into modding i'd see week old evos in the tuning shop ... brand new parts from Japan being installed

    HKS, GReddy, Apexi, Blitz, Tein, Rays etc

    It's crazy

    Practically new stock turbos, intercoolers, whole exhaust systems removed and laying on the floor

    The owners have barely driven their evos and they ordered 100s of thousands of pesos worth of aftermarket parts

    There's a breed of car enthusiast who are never satisfied with stock

    That's why there exist performance parts manufacturers and tuning shops
