Hyundai Fuel Consumption Database

[yakuini]

Mine is 6-7Km/L city driving only. My first time owning a Diesel vehicle, is this high or tama lang? (Starex SVX '02)

Parang di ako sanay kasi box type Lancer ko is 10-11km/L

[cyberdoc95]

So far sa mga nababasa ko dito sa threads, you are in the same gas consumption range. Starex with CRDI engine should do better though as far as gas consumption is concern...

[yakuini]

I see, kala ko me problema sa van. Kabibili ko lang nito eh, ala pang isang buwan.

Also, me sipol ang sasakyan, something like wind noise, pag nasa 80KPH pataas mo lang maririnig. I checked all the doors (even putting tapes in them to see if it is a rubber seal issue pero meron pa rin. Any other location on where I should check to fix the noise?

sa turbo nga yan.

[jack hpw]

That is only the turbo that ceates the noise

[ILuvDetailing]

Maybe thats the turbo kicking in...

[yakuini]

Pero parang alam problem naman sa torque and speed...ano ang fix pag Turbo? Yung source ko knows the issue and shoulder naman nya ang fix pag turbo nga...Pero parang tunong wind noise lang kasi eh. Could it be the intake of the turbo?

[ILuvDetailing]

check your RPM, see if the wind noise kicks in at 2500 rpm... AFAIK ganon talaga tunog ng turbo.

[maop99]

akin nga 5.5-6km ata eh parang ang lakas nga sa gas! kasi sa ibang diesel nakaka 8-11 daw, di ng ako makapaniwala eh.....I guess normal pala yon sa starex...grabe sa lakas ng gas....dito rin kasi sa area namin super dami ng humps! kakadagadag din siguro ito sa consumption....30 humps yata ang dadaanan ko bago maka-uwi! hehehe

[ILuvDetailing]

heavy body + underpowered engine + turbo = poor mileage.

[yakuini]

Highway okay mileage nya, umaabot din ng 10-11km/L.

As with the wind noise, its not with the RPM kasi pag nasa 2nd gear ako umaabot ako ng 3K RPM ala naman. Noticeable talaga sya pag nasa 80KPH na ang speed.

If the problem is with Turbo, are there any tips on how to fix this or kailangang dalhin ito sa shop? Also, what could be the problem with the Turbo pag me sipol sya?

Hi guys! I read this from another forum... is this possible? thanks.


"hey guys well i am from india and have a 4 month old hyundai 2012 accent known as fluidic verna out here in india manual gears.
well i have clocked around 3100 miles(5000kms) till date the car is still on its factory fill oil. the only difference between the us and indian counter part is we have an mpfi 1.6l petrol engine 123bhp an auto air-con and we do not have eco mode

well to start of with i have been getting rather poor mileage ever since i have got the car. Been reading this forum since a few months and was shocked to see the mileage you guys get.
my driving mostly consists of highway cruising at 40-60mph and a bit say 25% of city stop and go traffic. And the overall mileage i get is around 23.52mpg while if i drive in the city it goes down to 19.87mpg.
have taken it over to the service but all they do is connect g-scan check for any codes and say everything is fine, or pull out the plugs clean them, re gap and then clean the throttle body. Have been to them 4 times but thats all they do, the last time i went there they connected a mileage test kit filled it with fuel and ran the car till a litre was used up and they claimed the car gave a mileage of 18.3km/l(43.04) but the indicator on the console showed 10km/l(23.52mpg).
But sadly nothing has changed. all my calculations are by tank full to tankful(till the brim) method as the auto cutoff is not accurate.

Another issue is with regard to my suspensions. The rear is extremely bouncy, and while going over speed breakers it makes a popping noise, the dealer changed the coil springs as well as the struts but nothing has changed, the car still bottoms outs bounces a lot and scrappes the speed breakers. While on the front suspension we used to get this loud thud thud noise which was fixed by a tsb calling for re-torqing the lower arm bolts to a higher torque. The issue now is that when i drive her initially for a few kilometers every things fine but after some time it makes this squeaking noise every time i pass a speed breaker, or if i go over a speed breaker or pothole a little faster then i would it makes a loud thud noise and jerks are felt on the steering wheel. All they ever do is remove bolts grease them and add them back, now they tell me whatever they could do they have done and leaves nothing to be pointed as being the cause or issue


secondly regarding the engine oil, my levels have dropped to above half and i am planning to go in for an oil change, the dealerships all use 15w40 oil while my owners manual recommend 5w20/5w30 for fuel economy, what should i go with? fully synth or the dealers mineral oil which is api-sl.

we use 91 octane fuel with additives, had used regular 91 octane with no additives and engine appeared rough. Also used 97 octane with additives and the engine was very smooth and gave me more averages.
ok the update now.
i changed my oil at 5000km the dealer was telling me that its not required and so on, still went ahead with it and changed to mobil1 0w40 api-sn, the old oil was black and thick and i still wonder why the change interval is at 10k, the averages have improved from 10l/100km its gone up to 6.25l/100km engine appears very smooth now and responsive.
will make a thread of my car with pictures soon."

First of all I don't own an accent. I cannot comment on the upper part statement of this indian guy because I have no first hand knowledge but regarding the above quoted post I believe this is true. Good quality lubricating oil makes the engine run smooth & results to improved fuel economy.

[pag turbo may problem mausok cya kasi may pumapasok na langis papuntang intercooler isang pinakamagandang pag maintain jan is to wait 3 minutes idling time sa engine before shutting it down lalo na ang turbo mainit yan and may onti langis pumapasok jan kelangan ma settle down nya eto ng 3 minutes para mag cooldown and d matuyo ang langis na pumasok dun kasi may mga vanes jan pag natuyo yan magiging carbon deposit sya and titigas yan sumisira sa turbo one thing can help is the turbo timer and ang turbo engages in 80km up

Contrary to popular belief, pag naka matic ka, you have to get the slushbox to shift up to the highest gear possible for your current speed kung gusto mo maka-tipid sa gasolina. This means stepping on the gas pedal and not feathering it.

I know this for a fact because I drove a stick shift carb for the past 7 years at pag naka-karburador ang oto mo at manual pa, kailangan talaga magaang ang paa mo kung gusto mo maka-tipid. I was difficult for me to unlearn my ways but forcing myself to step on the pedal with my new car can bring my fuel consumption up as much as 1.5km/L.

*andro, thanks for the tip. Ako nga 20 years na ako nagdri-drive ng manual.. so its really hard to unlearn driving ways. Kinda depressing nga yung high fuel consumption ng Accent ko for city driving. Ive tried using the matic mode sometimes, but i always forget to change gears when in matic mode.. and di ako sanay up down lang (+/-), syempre nasanay pag manual e yung "H" mode But maybe ill try to use that more, see if i can improve FC a bit.

2007 Getz 1.4A/T

Just this weekend, me & my commander + baggage went to Baguio for a short stay

Left Ortigas Ave on full tank of regular unleaded

Pasig to Baguio and back total = 542 km

Fuel used = 6L at Tarlac + 39 upon return to Ortigas = 45L

Result = 12 km/L on really aggressive driving, much heavier pa kami going back due to pasalubong at mga pabilin...

Syempre happy na ako sa result

This car can easily get 15-16 highway kung steady lang sana ako. Kaso hindi eh...

ahhh the Baguio Trip. In Summer 2011 we did that as well. Best drive to date with my bnew (at that time) Accent... Left Manila full tank . Was able to sneak in some 120 kph along Nlex and Sctex (slowing down on "radar-prone" areas, para di mahuli speeding)
nag-gas kami just before climbing Kennon Road. FC ko is 14L /100km, wala pang half naubos sa gas.

Wanted to go back to Baguio this 2012 e, di natuloy sayang. Wish i could take more long out of town trips para naman ma-enjoy talaga ang car. Hanggang Tagaytay na lang kami lagi.. e lapit lang, kuha in 40 mins with no Traffic

Accent 1.6E HB FC from full to empty for 700+ km 16-17 km/ lit manual computation. Sa drive computer, 5.5 L/100 km. I noticed this car is more economical when driven in 6th, at 120 kph & 2200 rpm

Mga sir's bago lang po ako dito. Ask ko lang kung anong type at brand ng gas na maganda sa engine para sa accent sedan 2015?

[nerraw]

Pahingi po ng advice, yung Hyundai Getz 2010 ko po eh masyado malakas sa gas. Ano po kaya possible na problema? Tapos parang ang hina po ng batak. Kakabili ko lang po used car po sya.
TIA
