naiinis ako sa ilaw na ito. gusto ko na takpan ng sticker eh hahaha!

Have the same problem with it myself on the first night since. I'm thinking of having the power disconnected come first PMS if ever there is no manual switch available. Really annoying!

Sir rio5, your highway fc is relatively the same figures with the others and I'm expecting the same. I'm currently less than 1/4 mark of my fuel gauge and expecting to refuel tomorrow. I hope my fc will improve on this 3rd full tank.

I'll try the Caltex Gold on the next full tank. Thanks.

tingin ko ECO ON halos wala rin pinagkaiba sa consumption eh. kung meron man, konteng konte lang. pero never ko pa na try idrive na naka eco on

to those who have the Rio Hb, would you recommend it?

Also if regular driving using the manual shift, i think that also turns off eco, right?

Kung fc is your main concern, hindi ko marerecommend ang rio dahil meron ibang mas matipid sa gas na sasakyan sa same class category niya. Otherwise.. it's a great car.

Actually 7 to 10 KM/L is good. both Jazz and City 1.5 is 8KM/L. just got a feedback from my cousin who got a Jazz. The CR-V achieve 6.5 to 7 4x2 2011. My RAV4, maybe due to age only reaches 5.5 to 6.0 now.

Using the Shell V-Power Nitro+ yielded the worst city FC yet, 5.41km/L! Not only that, the lower RON Nitro+ gave me the dreaded engine "knocking" sound on at least 4 occasions with the last one the noise is so loud when accelerating in A/T mode doing 40+km/hr that my wife seating on the front noticed and asked "unsa nang banha?!" ("what is that noise?!). Hirap umakyat, mabagal mag accelerate and the engine emitted a louder growl because the lower power made my foot pressing on the accelerator harder. I'll stay away from Shell from now on since I can't seem to find any Nitro+ Racing available locally here in Cagayan de Oro City.

I am now using Caltex GOLD for my next fc evaluation with "ECO" on to make the comparison more or less fair among fuel yields. My current mileage is 715km.
