newbie lang ako mga paps, i'll be getting my civic 1.8 this week.

It is better to go with the full tank method. You fill the tanks and then check the odometer for the mileage counter. Drive the car in your usual route until whole tank is consumed. Fill the tank again and check the odometer for the current mileage counter. Get the difference between the mileage counter readings and then divide by the amount of most recent full tank which results to your average fuel consumption.
First question - how do you measure your fuel economy?
Use an app. ACar does all the computations for you. If you wanna do it yourself, follow the steps Egan explained.
(Ending Mileage - Beginning Mileage) ÷ (Total fuel loaded after 2nd full tank) = Actual Fuel Consumption.

Full tank method sir (to the top not automatic full tank)

Filling to the brim is prone to errors because each gas boy has different ideas of what "full" is.
Still, any variance should even out after several full tanks if you record your fill-ups religiously with an app.
Biggest factors for different FC figures for the same car are:
1. Different traffic conditions - your city driving is not equal to his city driving. Pasig to BGC on a rush hour will never get the same mileage as QC to Makati on a Sunday.
2. Different driving technique - from personal experience with the exact same route and traffic conditions, I get 11-12 km/L if I drive hard and 15 km/L if I drive nicely.

Let me add one more to that list. The time of the year you take your readings. The summer months would have slightly lower mileage vs the colder months.
Hi! comment lang din ako kasi newbie but what I've done, is to trip my car at zero then fill to full, note my driving and how much I've consumed at the end of the day. Ang long form nito is wait till zero talaga then calculate (i.e 40 liters is consumed in 100km so, ang consumption is 2.5km/l) hehe, mejo rough calc ito but you can use it.heheheh
Congrats on the new car, might be getting a city soon eh!![]()
Mga bro magtatanong sana ako ng advise, I think my car is eating up too much fuel.
I got my (brand new) 2018 Honda City 1.5 E CVT just last Thursday, July 6, so it is less than 1 week old. I have driven it daily up until today and have logged about 129 KM total. Problem is the fuel consumption as the average fuel economy reading indicates about 5.7 KM/L which I have confirmed by cross referencing with the total KM traveled along with the amount of fuel that I have consumed to date which is about 20+ liters. I have only driven in Mandaluyong-Makati-QC, experienced a somewhat heavy traffic last Thursday but everything else is pretty much normal city driving. I cannot say that I am light footed on the gas but quite close to it - I am never aggressive with my accelerator or brakes unless it cannot be helped.
My question at this point is do you think my car has a problem or do you think it is just the breakin period? I expected slightly lower fuel economy given that the car is very new, but not half the advertised city driving fuel economy of 10-11 KM/L. Thank you for the inputs.
ano gamit mo.po na fuel..91 octane rating?

that's quite high. mine is an average of 6-7 KM/L. i'm using 2017 Civic 1.8 E and XCS. daily driving from QC to Makati and vice versa during peak hours (6 AM-8 AM and 6 PM - 9 PM). mostly via EDSA or Makati-Mandaluyong-San Juan-QC route. my experience is somewhat similar with you during my first full tank, but subsequently, i can manage to log 7-9 KM/L drive during moderate traffic here in the Metro. but expect it to be really really high during super heavy traffic where you travel for about 1.5 to 2 hrs from Makati to QC.![]()
maybe, try to monitor the amount of time and distance you are on the road. or assess it again after 2 - 3 full tanks.
Thank you very much bro for the inputs...the numbers and details you mentioned are very helpful. I think i may have also expected too much...but the fuel economy seems to have improved quite a lot when i turned off econ mode and a bit after I did a 500+ KM drive to my home province and back to manila. Hopefully it improves further with time.

As far as I know, you need to reach 1000km+ to experience good fuel economy as the engine and other parts needs to break in first. Once it loosens up, you'll see better readings.
Gen 1 CRV M/T
City * 6-7 kms/ltr
Hi-way * 11-13 kms/ltr
No fixed route/time, but mostly moderate traffic encountered.
Ask mga papy honda city 2008
2 ang fan nya..now ko lang na pansin from start after 10min pag i on ko ang ac isa lang ba talaga ang aandar na fan ng radiator.. ung isa parang di ko nakikitang tumatakbo?
