2010 Tucson ix average fuel consumption

**taintedwhistler** · March 16th, 2010 04:32 PM

I forgot sino suggested na magshift lang sa mababang rev para hindi magsuffer FC, I tried that approach most of the time kaya siguro nakakaachieve ako ng ganun. Saka pag dumadaan ako ng SLEX hindi na gaano chaotic ang traffic - moving naman kahit papano so FC is only slightly compromised.

Ang medyo humihila lang sakin papunta sa 11+L/100km (roughly 9+km/L) is pag patong ko sa skyway - I can't resist shifting at 4-5K rpm

Theoretically kung sobrang conservative ka talaga you can push FC as low as you can (8L/100km or roughly 12+km/L)

Pero para sakin there is ideal and there is efficient: considering city/traffic/urban driving, ideal FC is for me is 12+ km/L (8L/100km sa onboard reading) pero, baka kailangang sobrang conservative na paggamit ko ng sasakyan ko na nun. For me, my definition of "efficient" is my personal 10/100km rule of thumb: gives me allowance for those open highway roads (skyway,coastal, C5 pag hindi traffic hahaha!!), allowing me to enjoy the drive and power of the vehicle) pero to cancel out the suffering of my FC during those moments, pag traffic I'll opt for the 2-3k rpm shifting - anyways traffic naman eh, same pace ka rin naman darating sa destination mo kahit gaano kabigat tapak mo sa gas pag traffic.

Iba naman approach ko for out of town drives pero di ko pa nalalabas ng metro yung Tucson after ng 1K km break-in

hirap maging guinea pigs ng bagong labas na product hahaha, pero enjoy naman :p

Don't worry about the 4x4 FC. Gwapo naman chrome grill mo sir! The complete Tucson ix look.

Di pa ko pinapayagan ni misis bumili nyan eh. 18k pa sa casa.

mackieboy: I read somewhere else that the Hyundai on-board readings are pretty accurate daw. Although at some point I'm still going to test it via the fill-refill way.

caster: Woah! 5L/100km is really good. (20km/li). Parehas kami ni taintedwhistler, 10L/100km ang borderline. Kaso, di ko yata kaya mag 80kph sa freeway.

I'll fail that marshmallow test.

May I ask all those that have vastly improved their FC in the ix, ano yung mileage ninyo when it improved? 4k ba?

*agentk98, Starex_Gold

ano ba itsura nung chrome grill? baka naman may URL ka, curious lang talaga ako eh, thanks :-)

force of habit lang mag manual kasi previous na sasakyan gamit ko is manual.

although usually ginagawa ko A/T mode pag 1-2 gears or standing start, kasi napansin ko sobrang "close" ang gearing ratio lalo sa 1st-3rd gears - (hmm paano ko ba maeexplain... makikita mo pag mano-mano 4k rpm mga 40kph na umaabot... meaning sobrang saglit lang bago makareach yung 4k rev... kung gagamitin mo naman m/t sa low gears pero shift point mo naman is 2-3k rpm sa start-stop traffic pa of all places, parang hassle naman na pabalik-balik from 1st to 2nd then 1st ulit) nag mamanual mode ako pag alam ko na moving traffic naman (pag naka bwelo na) nakasanayan ko na rin na mnatatancha ko kung anong gear at kung kailan/anong rpm magshift kasi by ear ako nagshishift sa luma kong kotse ng hindi tumitingin sa dials (kasi may topak yung sa luma ko so hindi mapagkakatiwalaan :p)

in short, a/t mode ako pag 1-2nd gears or pag start stop traffic, then my m/t tendencies take over pag 3rd or higher gears or moving traffic or birit pag dinemonyo

mukhang ok yang tips mo. Thanks! Susubukan ko yan bukas!

*taintedwhistler, nasubukan mo na ba kunin ang FC mo - city driving on full auto mode ka lang?

**Gen. Miting** · March 16th, 2010 07:35 PM

bale tanggapin nyo na yan na 6-6.5km/liter that's AT right? my m/t crv 2.0 averages 7-7.5km/liter. my friend's rav4 average 6-6.5km/liter AT and another friend's escape average 5.5-6km/liter.

talagang hanggang dyan na lang talaga ang FC ng compact SUV for city drive

mas maganda gamitin ang full a/t mode kung trapik. as what tainted said, hassle kung 2 gears shifting lang then full stop na and mas mataas ang chances na mag overrev sa 1st gear kung manual mode..

ako nag manual mode lang ako kung gusto ko humataw or mag overtake which is very effective talaga... most of the time naka full auto ako... just limit your RPM to less than 2k lalo na coming from fullstop..

ganun talaga ginagawa ko sa lahat ng oto namin para tipid sa gas hehehe.
