2012 Kia Rio

[eido]

Excel. I programmed my own thrust curve calculator for work. It even includes the effects of wheel size (not weight) on force at the wheels. Still working on programming the discrepancy between actual tire height and calculated tire height. Tires are usually 3% taller than calculated height.

nice! kala ko application hingin ko sana name. meron ka data for elantra, civic, and new focus?

[QUOTE=niky;2001387] we could check it on the dyno sometime when we have another test unit.

yun post ko kaninang umaga na FC reading, gamit ko nun blaze. first time ko sinubukan magpafull tank nun.

Pansin ko same consumption lang din eh tas wala naman pinagkaiba sa responsiveness ng engine.

Sunod ko naman susubukan yun vpower ng shell.

The 1.4 HB is the only variant I haven't driven. I'll try to line it up, soon. ;)

Nope. When manufacturers lend out test units, they prefer to lend out automatics. Most journos won't test fuel economy anyway, and they always give a full tank. Very rarely will you get a manual transmission test unit for anything. They give out ATs so that the journos will have an easier time driving them and will more likely write a favorable review.

Guys... can anyone explain what exactly the ECO Mode does? Is it the same for the HB and Sedan?

eco mode just tells you if you are driving conservatively, it turns green if you are driving economically and turns off kung medyo mabigat na paa mo sa gas pedal yun lang po yun, it doesnt do anything on the engine unlike the new honda civic,where you can choose kung racing ka o fuel efficient.

^ Whoa... then in that case, my understanding of the Eco Mode was a complete misconception.

I thought that Eco Mode affects a car's shifting for it to upshift quicker and downshift later, thus increasing fuel efficiency at the cost of performance.
