Honda Civic '96 VTi
Engine: D16Y5/PH16A
Wheels: 205/45/R17

Mixed driving - 15KM/L using full tank method

I attribute the good fuel economy to the following reasons:

1. Genuine Honda Engine Oil, 5w/30 mineral, Php1085 only including oil filter change sa casa. Eto lang ata mura sa casa.

2. Tire pressure, 36 psi front, 34 psi rear. Don't be scared, that's not even close to being high.

3. Correct spark plugs recommended by the Honda Service Manual. Mine are NGK ZFR4F-11. I can't find these anywhere locally so I had to buy at E-bay. Sulit naman considering the benefits.

4. "Undercharged" A/C system. There is a recommended range for the proper charge or weight of refrigerant for our vehicle. Always go with the minimum. R134A pressure goes up with the ambient temperature. Alam natin kung gaano kainit sa Pinas. Traffic pa palagi. Pag nasa max recommend pressure levels ka tapos sobrang init, tataas lalo pressure within the A/C lines. Hirap ang compressor. Bukod sa magloloko idle, pwedeng makasira ng A/C system at higit sa lahat malakas sa gas. Also make sure they read the pressure when the engine speed is at 1500 rpm. Hindi alam ng karamihan sa mga technician to.
