Honda Fuel Consumption Database

**Heisenberg** · April 11th, 2015 06:55 AM

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.

So not all the time na 17 ang tires ay malakas na kagad sa gas ang auto?

I'm planning to buy a used Civic FD 2009 M/T but I'm also having a hard thoughts of buying a new Mirage GLX Hatchback CVT instead. Since cheaper ang used civic I can probably use the extra cash for its future repairs. But the mirage GLX is tempting since its a brand new and worry free car for atleast 3 yrs. I can't make up my mind. Magkano po ba inaabot ng maintenance ng Civic FD M/T? If id be spending a little with FD then ill probably go with FD. Can you shed us some light po? And is a 66k mileage on a 6 yr old civic still worth the 500k budget? I was thinking that if I'm getting an M/T car might as well go for a used Civic. But if I'm buying a brand new, then I'll get the mirage CVT. Saan ba mas makakatipid in the long run?

Hi guys... newbie here... gusto ko lang sana makareceive ng expert advise ninyo.. im interested on buying crv 2 pinagppilian ko 2007 mt 2.0 600k, nakaset up na with mags, spoiler and sounds natestdrive ko na i think ok naman first owner.. 2008 awb matic same price. All stock. Medyo nagli lean sa right sabi ng dealer (freelance by n sell) e baka daw tire pressure lang. Im leaning on the matic. Which do u think is a best buY? Btw, problem is wala pa ako kilala na mechanic naghahanap pa ako. The test drive is based lang sa feel ko. both cars visually looks nice. ipapafinacing ko for 3 years thats why i have to be very careful about this baka magsisi lang ako in the end..

Honda City 1.5 2014, MT, 1 month-old, 9.7km/L. Bacoor-Manila daily. May break-in period pa ba pag ganyan? magi-improve pa kaya?

**cast_no_shadow** · April 18th, 2015 03:57 PM

I suggest bring a honest to goodness mechanic.

Risky masyado bumili ng 2nd hand, to add up ifinancing mo pa pala yan?

Mas mataas interest ng pre-owned vehicle thru financing.

in this day and age, if such a thing did indeed exist and worked reliably, it would already be incorporated in them manufactured cars..
