    My recently acquired '96 Civic LXi had fuel consumption of a little above 5km/L. Purely city driving with moderate-to-heavy traffic and lots of short trips.

    And there I was thinking it will be a more fuel-efficient replacement for my 16-V corolla when I acquired it 2 weeks ago. Only to find out na daig ko pa ang naka-SUV sa lakas nya sa gas!!

    Per documents from previous owner, casa-maintained naman sya (HONDA Shaw). Regular din ang mga preventive maintenance (oil, filters, plugs).

    Ano-ano mga dapat kong ipa-check to improve its fuel consumption? Tulong naman po!

    What transmission did your Corolla have? What transmission does your Civic have?

    And what's your daily commute like?

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    I believe magaan naman ang paa ko...hindi rin ako accelerator-friendly. No unnecessary speeding din. Nothing above 60kph on my city driving po.

    it should not be that high. 7kms/l i think would be acceptable.

    any mods done to the car by previous owner?

    an idle niya? hard to believe na ganyan kalakas sa gas LXi
