Ford Everest [Merged]

sabi nga nila pag naka motor ka parang yung isang paa mo nasa hukay na. Kaya ang tagal ko naring gustong bumili ng motor kaso madaming compromises.
by the way vinj, share mo naman secret mo sa eve kung papano napapatipid. yung last full tank ko may kasama pang trip to clark pampanga and some city driving. ang nakuha ko lang mileage 6km/liter.Petron diesel max kasi karga ko, baka yun siguro ang culprit. ever since kasi sa iisang gas station lang ako naglalagay. ang only consolation ko is ang 1 full tank ko lasts me 3 weeks dahil nga sa sobrang short trips hehehehe

Style sa pagtitipid? I drive with a very light foot when i accelerate from standstill then when the car is moving with enough momentum, i sometimes gas it a bit to get it up to speed then flick the pedal to force an upshift. I really work a lot on keeping the momentum and high gears in, basically keeping distance between cars in front of myself, looking way ahead to see if i need to slow down already or what lane to take. Mabigat si Everest so slowing down and acclerating is really hard on the fuel mileage (especially when you're always at low speeds with rpms below the turbo operation range since the engine is taxed at that point). On the highway, if you noticed the Everest also has this tendency to switch to an overdrive gear at around 80kph wherein the rpm dips low to a good cruising range...

Try driving the car hard once in a while to clear up the carbon buildup, thats also good in making the engine run lighter. I also used biodiesel from time to time to help keep the fuel lines clean (i would sometimes add a bottle or two of bioD before i would go out on a long trip).

With the same driving habits i can cajole around 6-7km/L in the city with our 2.0 Escape (and yet another gas guzzler) and anywhere between 8-10 on the highway depending on the type of roads i pass.

On gas, most of the time we would use either Diesel Max (Petron Greenhills or C5) or Shell (Katipunan-Blue Ridge). Oil was usually Petron Trekker 15W-40... the CASA would usually use monograde (40W) Shell oil which felt really heavy on the engine.

On a sidenote, if budget permits and if i come over a good unit, we might consider getting an Eve again (4x4 m/t version) =) I saw one before (4x4 a/t) being sold at a realy good price by an Australian with a Pinay wife, sayang lang we did not have the extra funds that time.
