Isuzu Fuel Consumption Database

[acergy09]

hi guys. sportivo 2007 m/t owner here. i learned a lot reading all the posts here. bigla ako nagka interest of checking the fc of my van. dati kasi im in the notion na mas matipid ang gas since mas mahaba ang tinatakbo nia per km/l. but upon reading your posts, hindi pala. halos parehas lang ang tinatakbo ng diesel and gas ang only difference is yung price ng crude oil. sweet talk lang pala ng mga ahente yung halos 23 km/l. pang highway driving lang pala ito. hindi siya applicable in real life dahil most owners ginagamit ang van sa city driving and less sa highway. anyways, nagpa full tank ako as in punong puno sia. umabot ng 43.8 liters nasa 1861 ang binayaran ko., my dilemma is next week magmamahal na daw ang diesel. pano ako makakakuha ng accurate information ng fc ko kung ang price ng diesel nuon ay nasa 42.80 lang and magmamahal ng 0.70 cents this week. tulong naman jan mga bro pano ako macocompute ito. thanks

hindi naman kasama sa computation sa pagkuha ng FC ang price ng gatong mo bro....pag nakuha mo na kung nakaka ilang kilometro ka sa isang litro,dun mo malalaman kung ilang piso natipid mo,compare sa diesel to gasoline...dito sa atin sa pinas,di pwedeng magmahal ang price ng diesel sa gasoline,dahil sa napakaraming factor...di tulad uerope na mas mahal ang diesel...kaya napakalaki ng advantage nating nasa sa pilipinas...doble ang tipid mo...price and consumption if you have a diesel cars...eto yung pinaka simpleng pagkuha ng FC bro...
Divide the distance by the litres used to get the km/litre

so from the start,full tank automatic mo tangke mo,then,izero mo yung trip meter...tapos takbo mo yung sasakyan ng malayo,mga 200kms...then,pakarga ka uli ng fuel...full tank,automatic....tapos idivide mo lang yung nag register sa trip meter mo dun sa kung ilang litro uli yung pinakarga mong fuel...yun na yun,malalaman mo na kung how many kms per liters ang FC mo...hope it helps...

nagpa full tank ako wednesday last week. ang route ko is antipolo to eastwood. marcos highway ang daan ko. i work sa call center so normally exempted ako sa traffic except sa friday merong kunting bottle neck papasok sa eastwood. disappointed lang ako kasi inaalalayan ko na nga yung takbo ko. between 60-80 lang tapos rpm is 2500 lang. yung gauge ko halos between middle and empty na. almost 400 kms pa lang tinatakbo ko. 43.8 liters ang naipakarga ko. kung ganito ang trend, baka pumatak lang ng more or less 10 km/l tinatakbo ng van ko sportivo 2007 m/t. tama lang ba itong tinatakbo or meron ba ako dpat ipacheck or gawin sa auto ko para gumanda fc ko. help naman jan mga bro lalo na mga katulad ko naka sportivo din. thanks

Good day mga Sir, ano po ba ang magandang FUEL ADDITIVE para sa mga ride natin para lalong matipid sa diesel at gaganda ang engine performance.

[SIZE=3]SULIT NA SULIT mga bosing![/SIZE]


From 10.5 - 11.0 km per litre city-driving to 13.5 km per litre with the Racechip Pro at B-C combo-setting and 13.4 km per litre at B-E.





Ride in subject ---- DMax 3.0 Ddi-iTEQ

FC: Isuzu Hilander '99.
City driving: Manila to Makati. approx. 8 KM per liter. normal?

1. more than 1.5 years, no engine oil change. less than 2000 kms since last change oil.
2. no sedimentor/water separator installed. is this okay or not?

TIA

reasons why fuel consumption comparison is not accurate:

1. different driving attitudes of different drivers
2. road conditions (rough or smooth)
3. traffic conditions (stop go or smooth go)
4. distance of travel (daily short drives or daily long drives)

the best way to know (dead accurate) if you have good fuel consumption is to swap with another person who owns the same type and model of vehicle, use it for a month and observe.

or

measure your fuel consumption regularly. your old readings will be your basis for future readings. this will tell you if you have high fuel consumption.

cheers!

I agree, as for me, I get an FC on my Mitsu Adventure 15km/l, long distance driving from Mariveles Bataan to Manila. Completo ang road test ko, rough roads, high n low terrain, traffic sa Lubao n Pampanga, straight smooth road sa Balanga, and NLEX Highway. I drove at an average of 60km/hr up to max. of 110km/hr. I do also average overtakes. In other words, this is my normal driving style.

Then, nung pabalik naman ako, Manila to Bataan, I tried a different driving approach, I run 60km/hr to max of 130km/hr, I do lots of overtakes from NLEX and even on the two way roads all the way to Mariveles. Hindi din ako halos nag-menor sa rough roads. This is not my normal driving style, I just want to push my advie for a test, I got a 11km/l.

As for Manila city driving, hindi ko pa nakukuhaan ng FC test ito, i'll make the test one of these days.

Frankly speaking, I was surprised by the FC conversations on this thread, I thought matakaw na ang Advie ko sa diesel... Okay lang pala. Akala ko kasi, 100% accurate yung mga energy FC test test na yan... In actual, malayo sa katotohanan... I think, yung driving style nila sa test na yan going 60km/hr to max of 80km/hr lang cguro. I believe that this is the optimum and most efficient speed the cars has to offer. If we drive go beyond those 80km/hr, the FC goes higher than their datas.

[HUMANHORDE]

Mga bossing Fuel consumption ng dmax ko model 2008 LS 4x2 automatic is nag aaverage lately sa 7 to 7.5 km per liter lang.. parang ang baba ata. nakaka 9000 kms na ang natatakbo nya since last na PMS ko sa casa. Un kaya ang dahilan kaya mababa na ang FC nya? kelangan ko na cguro dalin ulit sa casa..

[ifontoc]

I got mine last 2010 and the initial consumption is 9 km/l. after 2 years it is now at 12 km/li. We travel from laguna to baguio and vice versa frequently and fill my tank to the brim. reset the odo and refill again up to the brim. there are lots of factors that can affect consumption. Yung mausok, depende rin sa pag apak sa accelerator. Pede nto rin pa tupi sa casa

1. Driving attitude (the more frequent you step on brakes requires more acceleration)
2. Speed (80-90 km/hr is the most efficient)
3. Tire pressure
4. Load
5. etc...

[SpeedDzel]

Good Day to all! I have a..

2003
Isuzu (HiLander) Crosswind
XUV - Turbo AT
2.5L 4JA1 (NA, L) ICT
Automatic Tranny
running the ODO at 120,000+kms
on Petron Diesel Maxx

City: ranges from 6 - 8Kms/L
Hwy: 10 - 13Kms/L

MAN & MACHINE factor definitely affects Fuel Consumption

measure your fuel consumption regularly. your old readings will be your basis for future readings. this will tell you if you have high fuel consumption.

...and to attest further to this, had a road trip from Q.C. to Laoag City last 20-24 of April.
Herewith are the data collected;

Date.........Time.......Trip....Liters...Km/Li..Refueled / Remarks
2012.04.20 01:11:47 169.1 19.37 . 8.7 . . Petron Q.C. / Typical City Drive
2012.04.20 06:45:36 260.6 19.937 13.0 . Petron SFdo La Union / LOWww RPM Highway Drive
2012.04.24 08:41:20 286.1 28.34 . 10.1 . Petron Ilocos Norte / HI RPM, 3T&above, overtaking Drive
2012.04.24 13:45:50 219.2 18.592 11.8 . Petron SFdo La Union / Med RPM overtaking Drive
2012.04.24 21:18:00 289.2 26.80 . 10.8 . Petron Q.C. / (Mad)Max RPM, 100+KPH bastusan overtaking Drive

from this round trip drive of varying Driving attitudes/style/norms, i have also incurred varying FC results.

The trip from QC to San Fernando LU was smooth light traffic travel. Driving like my Grandmuther.

The SFdo to Laoag segment was riddled with daytime HiWay traffic of Trycs, Trucks plus the ongoing Road constructions at ALMOST every town. Aggravated by some Town Fiestas & Funeral processions. Pulling down the FC to 10.1

Ilocos to La Union was same as above, minus the Fiestas & Processions

and lastly the La Union to QC was a Hi Speed, Max RPM drive especially on the 4 lane portions of Tarlac, SCTEX & NLEX. oh & a dinner stop over at Caltex San Fernando Pampanga for about an hour.

Lesson: night trip travelling, as always, is most comfortable & more economic. agree? :cheers2:

[sergeant junior]

mga sirs good day, ask ko lang po average consumption ng xuv ko is 10-11km/l and my normal route is binangonan to camp aguinaldo.. odometer reading is less 1300km plng... normal po ba ito? salamat po mga sirs...

[jay2]

1st time owner ng crosswind, kalalabas ko lang sa casa last thursday, full tank sa shell then went to makati, antipolo, tondo and nueva ecija. Travel a total of 245 kms then full tank kagabi ng 20.26liters yields me a 12.09km/liter.
Hoping na after 1500km check up eh pumalo ng 14km/l :-)

[Sportiv08]

Try niyo Petron Turbo Diesel :D

[Mac40]

I missed my 2001 XT X-wind . Binenta ko last Feb. 2011 *P310T tumatakbo pa ng 15kms per liter kahit 11 years old na sya. Yung ipinalit ko Adventure 2012 SE, medyo makunsumo ng konti * 13kms per liter sa highway and 8-10 sa City driving.

[boypogi555]

mga sir, ano po ang mga dapat ipa check para maging matipid ang sportivo namin? may tune up ba? etc.. mababa nga lang lagi ang rpm ko, malakas pa rin ang consumo ko.. thank you..

[noygelo]

Just purchased an Isuzu Dmax LS SE manual tranny 2 weeks ago...pina full tank ko kaagad just to have an idea about its approximate fuel consumption habang naka break in period pa sya...

- 2nd full tank ODO reading 400+ : approx FC = 14.4 km/liter
- 3rd full tank ODO reading 700+ : approx FC = 14 2 km/liter....akala ko gaganda anf FC :question:
- 4th full tank ODO reading 1100+: approx FC = 15.8 km/liter...panalo!!!

note: I'm driving on paved provincial roads 75%, city 25% and I am not a "clutch" driver...sana gaganda pa FC ko after my 1st PMS...

[xwind_mariner]

2008 AT XUV Crosswind (acquire 01.2009) Last summer, drove to Baguio with already 36K km in odometer... 2 passengers.
from my place(full tank) then at arrival in Baguio(full tank again) odometer tick at 352.5Km / 33.76liters of fuel = 10.44Km/liter
Gala in Baguio(3 days,full tanks in both ends), you know Baguio roads..Uphill, Downhill...odo tick at 52Km / 10.16L = 5.11Km/liter
Back home via Manaoag,Pangasinan to Batangas, odometer tick at 343.2Km / 28.1liters = 12.21Km/L

any suggestion? mga bossing? tia.

[chronophile]

Too many variables, Sir, and meaningless to conjecture without more details about your unit. If your fuel economy deviates widely from mariner's (see post before yours), perhaps start with the simpler options first like tune-up. If you'll be having it done sa casa, their diagnostics might yield some clues. Assuming you conduct proper PMS on your unit and are judicious in your driving habits, the other major culprit might be the need for calibration of your diesel engine.

I, myself experience similar fuel economy as mariner. I get only around 8km/l in pure city driving, very short trips of less than 3km each direction around 3-5 days every week. But on highways, I do get 12km/l. No surprises there for me.

hope we got the same ride, actually...if im using my at xuv crosswind from bahay to palengke,2 to 3 times week, 6km one way...20 to 30 minutes ride,or more kasi minsan kelangan mo paikot ikot kc wala parking sa palengke and a moderate build up of traffic along the way, my fuel consumption was also lag at 7.5km to 8km per liter...but oh highway, yes..between 11km to 12.5km per liter.
