hhmmmm..... sa tingin ko, mataas masyado yan para sa XLS A/T mo, break-in period pa lang yan. hindi pa naman accurate ang mileage mo, hintayin mong tumaas ang ODO mo.
sa rav4 sv ko ngayon, break-in pa lang. 13km/L hiway.
Originally posted by kiper for the first 5,000 kms you'll never get an accurate computation of your fuel mileage..wait after the first chang-oil to do so.
wombat..your figures will definitely improve, just be sure you don't wreck your engine on its break-in period.
Care to expound on this? From personal experience, what you get is what you get.
If we're talking about parts setting in, there's always a chance that fuel economy would worsen as much as it'll improve Either way, the difference is hardlu felt.

It's indicated in the Ford Escape manual. Before having the 1st PMS, I got an average of 4-5 kms per Liter only. Now I have atleast 5-6.5 kms per liter on city driving.
wombat, break-in pa lang ng rav4 sv ko. pero umaabot ako ng 9-10km/L city. 13km/L hiway

Wow mas matipid pala yung RAV4, ok talaga yung vvti technology
isn't the 2.0l escape engine known to be gas-guzzling, underpowered and rather antiquated? Mazdas aren't known for being fuel efficient compared to Honda VTEC or Toyota VVTI. Also the horror stories about the MT transmission Escape make you think twice about owning one.
The RAV SV uses a manual transmission, got a smaller engine, smaller over-all size and lighter weight. My escape is all of the opposite..kaya mas matipid talaga ang RAV.
I've also installed K&N finer filters.
Escapes equipped with manual transmission has a clutch problem..too bad.
