2010 Tucson ix average fuel consumption

[agentk98]

Hi everyone, i'm seeing a lot more Tucson Ix on the road. Buti dumadami na tayo.

If anyone has feedback, I'm interested to find out what the average consumption is on their new Tucsons... Im a bit dissappointed with mine and unsure if it changes as the mileage ramps up out of the break-in period. Or if maybe changing to higher octane ratings improves it.

Mileage clocked: 1,800km
Average consumption city driving: 15li/100km. Thats about 6.6km/li.
Im using Shell Xtra Unleaded. I drive through moderate-heavy traffic in SLEX, Eastwood and Ortigas.

Hiway driving (Manila-Pangasinan) clocked 9li/100km or 11km/li. And that's with a heavy foot already sa NLEX-SCTEX. FC would've been better if I kept it under 100km.

Your thoughts?

Am getting the same kpl -city driving (6.5kpl) on my Tucson GLS 2WD A/T, since I got it last Dec. 09, 2009. Si e-machine gets 8 to a high of 10kpl city driving. The best I got so far was 8.3 kpl-city driving just after Christmas.........at maluwag ang traffic.

Depende yan sa route mo and traffic.

If memory serves me right I read an article regarding the F.C. of the new corolla altis 2.0 liter A/T dual vvti (same volume displacement as our tucson and dual cvvt) doing even less than 6kpl on city driving.

musta kaya FC nung iba nating fellow tucson-tsikoteers?

avg FC ko moderate traffic is around 10l/100km to as low as 12.5l/100km. sobrang gaan na yun tapak ko nyan and my mileage is 4k+..

hway pala nagawa ko was 6l/100km.. trying to bring it down to 5l/100km kaso biglang nagtrapik na hehehe.

pero na try ko sya bumper to bumper traffic, computer readout is 14l/100km or around 7kpl.. nung bago yun oto naranasan ko yan 6.5kpl na FC. then after PMS medjo nag improve. btw, i'm using fully synthetic oil and pili yun gas station kung san ako nagpapakarga... HTH

emachine, ano average speed mo nyan?

baka hindi ko kayanin yung average speed para mapatipid sa gas ang iX

at mataas na yung mileage mo ah :shocked2:

[agentk98]

emachine: Ah, that's more reassuring. It gets better din pala. What octane rating yung fuel if I may ask?

GreenHornet, may pag-asa pa pala tayo.

agentk98, sir maganda na yung fuel mo. Shell. pero try mo yung V-Power kahit isang full tank muna tapos sundin lang mga tips ni emachine. tingnan natin kung magiging better yung FC nya dad ko kasi nag work sa Shell so alam namin kung gaano kalinis at kaganda ang formula ng mga gas ng Shell at sabi rin nung SA sa Wheels recommended gas daw nila ay V-power for Tucson

ako natatakot talaga sa magiging FC ng 2.4 4WD :cry:

i am averaging 10-12 L/100km as well on city driving. my usual trips take me through sm north - sta lucia -libis -then back to sm north. i use seaoil extreme 97 octane.

recently, i went up to baguio, i was able to achieve 5L/100 kms, my speed was 80kph. but the average consumption i got in the highway was 6.5 -7.5 L/100kms and i was running only 100 - 110 kph, when i ran faster at 130kph, FC went up to 8.5 L/100 kms.

also, i was able to reach 180kph with the ac off. actually, pwede ko pa pigain kaso natakot na ko, i am not that confident that the vehicle is designed to run that fast...napansin ko maliit yung disk brakes and calipers, baka mahirapan mag stop pag kinailangan.

when i first got my tucson, mataas din FC ko, city driving was at 18L/100 kms.

Average ko 6km/l lang.. Binondo-Makati.. Mejo traffic lang lagi..

[feeter]

Bakit nga kaya ganun kalakas sa gas ang new Tucson? pag nagkataon maraming magbebenta agad nyan.

[Starex_Gold]

Proper Break in would be the answer. Si emachine nakaka 8km/L sa city drive
