That is good to know sir. I didnt know that the engines were developed in germany. That is probably the reason why when I took my officemate for a ride who owned a BMW 118d, he took the ride, engine response and dynamics of the accent hb as very much similar to his 118d.
Sakin nag-iimprove yung FC ko every full tank, first full tank: around 12.8km/L mixed, 2nd full tank: around 15km/L mixed, 3rd full tank: around 17km/L mixed. kaka-full tank ko pa lang uli kahapon. Lahat yan based sa computation sa may dashboard. Not sure how accurate mga computation. Nagpapafull tank na ako kahit may 3 to 4 bars pa sa fuel gauge, not sure if it makes a difference. Byahe namin araw araw: Bacoor Cavite - BGC - Eastwood Libis - BGC - Bacoor Cavite. Mostly Coastal/Cavitex daan namin, bihira lang mag-skyway. Sabay din kami madalas sa rush hour ng papasok at pauwi.
Hope mag-improve pa. Gusto ko sana mag-try sa big 3 baka magimprove pa fuel consumption, pero check ko muna mga feedback. Baka same lang kasi ang consumption.
Based sir sa computation ng car, first full tank ko nasa 490KMs distance before empty daw, then 2nd full tank naging 540KMs before empty, then 3rd full tank 590KMs before empty, then kahapon 619KMs before empty. Puro Unioil ako nagpapa-fuel. Pero observation ko lang sa distance to empty, minsan mabilis bumaba minsan mabagal. Next na i-oobserve ko yung trip meter at i-try ko na 1 bar sa fuel gauge before mag-pa full tank para i-compute ko manually yung FC. Check ko kung malapit dun sa computation ng car.
I see. keep us posted sir. I also plan to do manual computation. My experience with on board fuel consumption displays are off by +/- 10%. Though not dead accurate, it's a good ballpark to give us an idea how far we can still drive without refuelling.
On another note, napansin ko yung HB natin ramdam na ramdam yung vibration galing sa gasgas na asphalt or concrete road. Have you observed this? And slightly matagtag siya compared to my '09 City. Is it because it's a hatch?
When compared to our 2005 Altis and 2002 Revo, mas matagtag sya at ramdam yung vibration sa asphalt/rough road. Not sure though if it has something to do with the tires. Before kasi nankang yung tires na gamit namin sa altis, matagtag din. Pero nung nag-yokohama kami, nabawasan yun tagtag at vibration. Not planning to buy new tires pa, sayang kasi yung stock tires. Ingat na ingat nga ako sa mga rough road, ramdam na ramdam kasi hehe..
Guys share ko lang. I found out sobra pala hangin sa mga tires ko (38 psi) kaya sobra tagtag. Yun yung hangin na laman niya when I got it from the dealer. When i lowered the pressure to 32psi front and rear, gumanda yung ride niya malambot na.
Also, tomorrow I plan to install DIY cover dun sa tapakan sa rear para hind magasgasan. Post ako pics when Im done.
Eto sir. Not perfect may mga bubbles na konti but i think it will serve the purpose for now. Also, wala ako nakita na mas dark na shade ng gray to match the sonic silver color. For the time being it should be enough to protect the paint from wandering shoes and slippers. Hehe.
Maganda pa din sir. San ka pala nakabili? Madalas din maapakan yung sa amin ni misis eh.
Sa Daiso sir 88 pesos tapos hinati ko. Sa case ko sa robinson malolos ko ito nabili. Parang malaki ng konti sa long bond paper yung size ng isang buo. Half of it is enough per side to cover yung crucial parts nung apakan. Ginamit ko hair drier ni misis para mag lapat siya dun sa curves.
