Sir, magaan ang paa ko sa gas. Hindi ko pinalalagpas ng 2k rpm. Talagang matrapik lang ang route ko, puro short trips mga 4 kms or less, at madalas idling pa pag waiting sa school ng bata. Yung dati kong honda city na idsi cvt nakaka 7km/l city driving din. And to think grabe ang hype nun na kesyo matipid daw etc. I have yet to own a car that can get more than 7km/l city driving. Malamang kung kumuha ako ng picanto or i10 baka maka hit nako ng 10km/l, or not.

That's it, kaya mababa ang FC niyo sir. FC really depends sa traffic condition you are into, lalo na madalas pa kayo idling, lets say you are idling for quite some time malaking bagay na yun to your FC kasi that will mean 0km/liter for example and adding to this mas malaki talaga ang FC mo on short trips.

Kaya nga sabi ko sa friend ko na ang fc ng isang kotse ay depende sa route, yung mga nababasa ko na over 10km/l may halong highway driving yun. Kadalasan kasi yung iba sa alabang or laguna or bulacan nakatira then work sa ortigas/makati/qc. Kung nakaka over 10km/l man sila sigurado sa haba ng byahe malamang parehas lang kami ng costing per week sa pump, with me averaging a measly 7km/l. At least for me mas hindi ako pagod dahil maiikli trips ko hehehe, in this world talaga you cant have it all. Besides ang 7km/l is already good enough for me, having had an suv na 2.5km/l city driving before malaking bagay na yun hehehe. Ang average speed ko pala sa trip computer 12kph lang. Ang nakakaasar lang talaga ngayon yung tope. Inaantay ko lang maubos fulltank ko tapos kargahan ko ng petron xcs, tingnan ko kung mawala. Pero grabe na talaga itong accent kung sakali. For an econo car mapili sa fuel, ang gusto pa premium.

I have been contemplating on getting the Accent 1.6 A/T but I know I had to wait for the problems that might arise. It is a Korean car. It is no excuse for them and the car dealers not to know or ignore the common complaints on the Accent. The outer looks and the price has been part of its marketability, thought the interior doesn't complement. Thanks to this thread it makes you realize that you don't get what you paid for.

Beats the purpose of being an econo car...dapat siya pa ang pinaka matipid sa class niya. Mukhang palyado nga ang mga reviews sa kanya before. Malamang ganito na din ang Elantra...hanggang porma lang.

official readings:

Fuel Consumption Mixed (mostly highway though gawa ng sa NLEX naubos halos gas ko): 10.38 km/li typical same pump same gas station computation. Dash reading: 9.0 liter per 100 km or simply 11.11 km/li. Marginal difference but relatively high fc nevertheless. I'm attributing this to the break-in period for now.

Hi fellow tsikoter's, my wife find that our 2011 accent has a problem on tire pressure from day to next day basis. she noticed that the tires were always & almost were losing tire from visual looking at it, then she went to the vulcanizing shop to increase the tire pressure for all 4 wheels at 32 PSI from gauge reading. Then she notice again on the next day morning that tires were change almost losing pressure again. then she went gain to vulcanizing shop, to her surprise all of the wheels were not the same tire pressure. pressure reading from each tire are as follows, 27 PSI, 28 PSI, 27 PSI, 29 PSI. she already called Hyundai QA regarding about the problem. they said to bring the car on Saturday to check the problem. From what i've seen, since all of our units came from South Korea, might be the tires are not for tropical climate conditons, well keep you up to date about the outcome after the service. So try to keep a watch on your tires.

Tire pressure changes in the course of the trip hence the readings could be inaccurate. Pero usually dapat tumataas ang psi habang umaandar, this could be a rare case.

Na-try niyo na ba pahanginan sa gabi to 32 psi, then kinaumagahan pagkagising i-check using a psi gauge? Mura lang naman sa ACE Hardware. :-)
