Oh no, not that crap again! :mad: First a 49 km/li in a VTEC3, now 60+ on the tumor car?
Jeez, they can't even manage half of that in the real world. What's this, another Kennon Road downhill drive in neutral?

the other vehicle's test results are more believable...
.For the media category, Mr. Iñigo Roces and Mr. Chris Van Hoven of Team C! Magazine registered 24.09 km per liter using 1.3 Honda City CVT while Manila Bulletin’s Mr. Anjo Perez together with Manila Times’ Mr. Vernon Sarne posted a fuel mileage of 23.62 km per liter using 1.3 Honda Jazz CVT.
Honda fielded one official car, Jazz with manual transmission, to set Honda’s official fuel consumption. Driven by an AAP representative, Jazz official car was able to register 20.71 km per liter using normal driving condition.

December 15th, 2004 11:49 AM #18I dont think its a typo... the author even computed the approximate cost for Metro Manila Roundtrip....
"Mr. Tiglo’s trip around Metro Manila merely cost him approximately Php 20"

a theoretical scientific explanation can also be deduced.
since they are using gasoline pumps to measure the amount of gasoline used - this maybe the culprit. it might be:
1) the calibration for the vacuum sensing device for the pump (used for the automatic nozzle cut-off) isn't calibrated exactly as the other pumps
2) the small pipe (sensing the vacuum) might have sucked in gasoline coming out of the nozzle instead of what is in the fuel tank of the car. this MIGHT happen if the nozzle wasn't properly placed and will most probably trigger the nozzle shutdown.
3) when the fuel was measured for that particular car - it was in the middle of a hot afternoon. naturally, the fuel inside the car expanded and decreased the "empty space" inside the fuel tank (thereby resulting in less fuel needed to fill-up the car again). though this is a bit far off.

pareng John, kahit may discrepancy sa click nga auto stop ng pump, i doubt if it's enough to produce a 66km/L reading,
After all ilang liters lang ba ang tangke ng city? sabihin na nating 40L, what would the max discrepancy of the click amount to? 2-3 liters maybe?
as above, if you want to go OEM-style, get a "spare tyre lock". but i use an ordinary cheap...
