*and some other things syempre, like minimal use of brakes, not accelerating fast, etc.

Pangit talaga route ko kya mataas ang FC

ang most efficient speed para sa GS is between 80-120kph.

I agree. As I had observed during our Baguio trip in January -- and that was with Petron Diesel Max not even Unioil -- my Ortigas to Sison, Pangasinan (about 220 kms) run, which was mainly within the 80-120 kph range, only consumed about 1/8 tank of gas. Assuming that 1/8 tank is about 9.375L or 10L na lang, that's 22 Km/L. Of course, this is only as accurate as the fuel gauge, but still, it's a FAR CRY from my city driving averages of 6-7 km/L. Hehehe!

Vic, anong oil nilagay ng Hancars noong 1st PMS mo? I can also think the engine oil might be the culprit of the bad FC.

I have a question guys.. How can I make the taillights of my GS Gold double contact? If someone has done it already can you post the pics? Thanks

and sadly, not mine either hehehe! sabi ko nga, kapag disiplinado paa ko, ayun umaabot ng 12+km/L.

pero mas malala ka sa akin, di umaabot ng 20,000km ang brake pads mo.

dala mo sa banawe, papalitan nila yung sockets and light bulbs. siguruhin mo lang na mahigpit yung mga electrical tape at pag maluwag e baka sablay after a few months. double contact na yung sa akin, pero i have to admit i had to DIY it a few times due to loose electrical connection and loose contacts in the sockets. actually kayang-kaya i-DIY yan, pero why pa kung minimal lang naman labor cost. kung gusto mo sigurado ang gawa e bili ka ng heat shrink insulators para di luluwag yung wires.

Bawal ba pagawa sa casa or lets say sa Auto
ine? At pwede po mag lagay kayo ng pics? Thanks

yan double contacts pero di naka-on ang brakes.

also notice that the signal lights and backing lights are reversed. i interchanged the big signal lights and small backing lights and then installed a 55 watt phillips bulb. result is by backing light is now super bright. result, may head light ako sa likod, super liwanag pag umaatras sa gabi.
