Help!!! Got A Gas Guzzling Feroza!

**KdR921** · February 8th, 2007 11:23 PM

hi everyone!
i badly need some expert advice regarding my '90 feroza. i'm the type who could drive but not really well-versed when it comes to understanding the ins and outs of car engines. got this second-hand ride last sunday only and it surprised me that i've already spent 800 pesos for unleaded gas for just 90 kms! asked a couple of friends and they said that it could be a problem with the spark plugs, the carb maybe, the gas gauge, or i might just need some time getting used to driving the car properly to make it more fuel efficient. now i'm confused.

would greatly appreciate your replies. thanks in advance!

Wow lakas nga sa gas! Daig mo pa mga V8!

Try to get it checked sa reputable shop asap. Baka kulang lang sa tune-up.

before you take it to a shop check mo muna ito. diba 4x4 yan see if your front hubs are set to "free" and not "lock". Check you shifter, the 4wd light on your dash may not be working, see if it's in the 2Hi mode and not in the 4Hi or 4Low setting. oh and one more thing do not use your 4hi or 4low mode with the hubs lock in pave road. othe than that if the abovemention things checks out get a competent shop and have it tune up.

grabe lakas nyan. I average about 40km/day pero nowhere near na gagastos ako ng almost 500/day.

Kahit 2 lang ang kumakamot sa Feroza,- talagang malakas iyan sa gas, base sa experience namin.....

hey CVT, tnx for replying. anyway, this week i was able to bring up the gas consumption to around 6kms/liter. is that close enough to the highest that i could get?
