agree! mine also is crv 2002 model and consumes fuel the same most of you have experienced.

better to commute kung malapit lang puntahan. for long driving (10km/li) i think its fair enough as compared to other brand/model of similar size.

kasing takaw pala ng xtrail ko yan...were talking here of the 2.0 ivtec crv right, not the 2.4's ha...

my 2003 crv which is manual transmision consumes an average of 7 to 8km per liter of gas, well it depende na sa paa ko kung gusto ko ihataw,im talking about city driving sa long distance 10 to 12 km per liter, mas matakaw talaga ang automatic transmission kaysa manual. sa automatic kasi haba ng 1st gear bago mag shift sa 2nd gear!

I have a question para sa lahat ng may 03 model. I drive 20km everyday, back and forth,
( 5 kms dun, city driving )
Mas nakaka tipid ba ako sa petrol kung in between 1100-1500 rpm ang odometer ko while cruising 5th gear o dapat mag downshift ako para maintained sa 2000 rpm. Medyo winding road kaya hindi ko din gaano binibilisan.

Thanks sa lahat ng mag rereply.

for me mas makakatipid ka kung nasa 5th gear kaysa magdown shift ka. mas mapapalakas ang gas mo pag nasa 4th gear while maintaining 2t rpm.

Fellow tsikoters and GEN 2 drivers/owners,

I read this article , Driving Tips to Save Gas - Save Gas This Summer - Popular Mechanics , a few months before.
One item suggested this

"Tactic No. 2: Avoid Slowly Crawling Up to Speed

Conventional wisdom says that jackrabbit starts consume more fuel. But it turns out that nursing your speed up to the limit too slowly also lowers mpg. How can that be? Cars get poorer fuel economy in lower gears, and accelerating too slowly prevents upshifting at an efficient rate. The best acceleration rate varies with the vehicle, gear ratios and weight. But in our testing we found that taking 15 seconds to accelerate to 50 mph used less fuel than taking 30 seconds to reach the same speed, because the car entered its top, fuel-saving gear sooner.

It made me think whether this applies also to standard shift vehicles or only to automatic transmission.

Manual shift kasi sasakyan ko at alalay ako mag accelerate , as needed basis lang ang sudden acceleration for me. Nalito tuloy ako
kung mas nakakatipid ba ako sa driving habits ko o dapat ibahin ko.

Your input are appreciated.

sir depende sa traffic situation. i think applicable lang itong driving tip na ito kapag highway or long driving. pag bumper-to-bumper traffic, advisable pa rin ung slow acceleration.

i travel around 35 kms a day,i got 5.5 t0 5.8 kpl, short drive and short intervals lagi. but on highways, kuha sa 10 to 12 kpl

The trick is to moderately quickly accelerate to the highest speed you can maintain while still being able to coast to a stop at the next traffic light or jam.

If you drive slowly to the next light with your foot on the gas the whole time, you're using more gas. If you get up to speed then coast down, you use less gas.
