A basic vtec controller will just adjust the trigger rpm when the vtec mode kicks in. Nope... it won't help.

it might actually decrease your fuel mileage. The Vtec controller would decrease the RPM where the VTEC comes in. It would make your CRV faster but would burn more fuel.

[bougartt]

just keep your aircon blower low and thermostat 60%cool and keep your revs below 2000 rpm, keep tires properly inflated.. cheap way to conserve fuel.. :P

You'll be saving yourself 14k (thats howmuch a vtec controler is if i remember correctly)

thanks for your opinion guys! i just dont know what to do on my crv to increase my fuel mileage.. anyway, im planning to sell it na and get a new honda jazz or city 1.5vtec.. i talk to a new honda city 1.5 owner kanina sa honda makati, sabi niya 12km/l daw ang naconsume niya with in his breakin period niya, sabi pa niya it might increase his fuel mileage after the breakin period. i like the new tail lights of the jazz, LED na ngayon.

or sell your CRV and get a 2nd hand Rav4 SV (4x2). 10km/L yun.

install a car fan and dont use the a/c hehe

convert your CRV to use LPG. It won't improve your milage but the cost of LPG is roughly half of gasoline.

Also changing tires to tires with low rolling resistance will also improve fuel milage in any vehicle.

when are you converting? kami converted na heheheh

Note, though, that low-rolling resistance tires (like Michelin Energy) give you longer braking distances. Still, as long as you're careful, the grip is pretty good anyway.

I'm a jazz vtec owner.. just last week my jazz went 5.6 km/l YES NOT KIDDING. (odo reading currently 1300++ km) My gas consumption has been fluctiating actually..

Bro I-vtec ang engine mo hinde pede syo ung v-tec controller!

[Mamar]

V-afc2 pala pede sa i-vtec pag ung unang v-afc hinde pede!
pero ok naman pede mo adjust ung v-tec mo sa higher rpm para hinde sya vtec agad gnayan ginagawa ko sa v-tec controller ko dati eh at na momonitor ko kung ilan percent apak ko sa throthle! kahit papano may tulong din sya sa SIR ko!

safe ba talaga ang LGG sa engine? correcr me if im wrong guys, ang mga engine natin naka design for "car gasoline", don't you think may effect din ang LPG sa engine in the long run? thanks for the tip MAMAR! bougartt? bakit yung jazz mo ang lakas sa gas? may engine upgrade ka ba ginawa? ikaw lang yata ang kilala ko honda 1.3l owner na may ganyan na problema..

guys, kanina nagpavulcanize ako ng tire, may sinuggest sakin yung technician... inflate ko daw ng nitrogen yung tites ko para mas matipid sa gas... totoo ba yun? how safe kaya yun? ang explanation pa niya is mas magaan daw ang nitrogen compared sa "air". it cost 150pesos per tire!

takaw talaga yung gen2 cr-v... we get about 6.0 to 6.5 km/l in our A/T CR-V and 6.5 to 6.8 km/l in the M/T.

keeping the thermostat to half or below helps (just increase the blower strength to compensate)

Actually, nitro is not really lighter than air, considering most air is 70-80% nitrogen already.

The benefits are stability under high heat and more constant pressure, as well as potentially less wear on the interior due to the absence of oxygen... which is weird, as most tires wear out long before the interior shows any sign of corrosion... hello? Sealed system?

From personal observations, the most you can expect is that tire pressure will stay constant longer, and won't degrade due to weather or over time (at least, not as much as with regular air). Any fuel economy benefits are from just this constant pressure, but you can do the same thing by topping off your tires every morning at the nearest gas station.

masubukan nga ang nitrogen na yan..hehe
