Umaabot po kaya sa 10-12km/L ang kia rio sir?kasi my pailan ilan narin akong nakikitang kia rio LX na taxi so it means mejo matipid din sa gas ito?check niyo itong review sir sa kotse.com Korean Pride | 2012 Kia Rio 1.2 LX MT Sedan
Wow... traffic conditions make a night-and-day difference with regards to fuel consumption... I made two trips tonight, one from 6:30 to 8pm going from The Fort to Makati then Mandaluyong (let's call that TRIP A) and one from 10 to 10:40pm from Mandaluyong to Pasig (let's call that TRIP B):
TRIP A:
Time = 1h28m
Distance = 9.8km
Ave Speed = 6.68kph
Fuel Consumption = 4.44 km/L
TRIP B:
Time = 41m
Distance = 11.5km
Ave Speed = 16.83kph
Fuel Consumption = 9.09 km/L
:o
That just roughly a 10kph difference in speed, which isn't much, but more than double the fuel efficiency.
I'm excited to see how this car performs on the expressway :P
i was considering the rio hatch as a primary replacement for my getz, look at it twice already, the only one stopping me is the fc, wish they use the 6 speed a/t, that might solve the poor fc, i dont want to drive and keep on looking on the tach not to go beyond 2k......
Nope.. basta yun 1.4 gamma 4 speed AT ang engine at transmission, kadalasan ito ang may poor fc.

It can do15k-16m/l sa hway nun minsan pumunta ako batangas. Mas maganda siguro makukuha kung sa nlex, dahil madalas pantay lang kalsada dun.

HB gamit ko pero yun fc na nakukuha not as bad nun iba na 5-6 km/l.. yun 1.2 kasi ng rio parehas sa 1.2 ng picanto, sa picanto kasi may nababasa din ako na bad fc pero puro matic ang gamit, kaya kung manual naman kukunin mo na rio - more on the safe side ka naman.
Basta same yun tire and wheel size sa oem 15" rims ng rio, hindi mawawala warranty mo. Ang alam ko nga kahit ipalit mo yun gulong ng HB hindi din mawawala eh dahil oem size naman yun pero mas maganda tanungin mo sa casa o agent niyo para sigurado.

4km/L? :faint:
Sana talaga Kia do something about this, ganda pa naman ng Kia Rio HB.
Yun 1.2LX, oo wala FC issues yan. Same engine yata yan with the 1.2L Picanto.

Mga Sir, meron po ba kayo idea kung paano isetup ang Rio 1.2LX?any pictures??
2012 Vios 1.3 MT
I drive along EDSA everyday during rush hour (back & forth around 14-15km only depending on the route I take, so that's roughly 7km one way) the lowest FC I got was 8km/L, with the aircon on and never did I get out of any traffic. Worst traffic I experienced was being stuck somewhere for around an hour or so, and yet, the FC was constant at 8-9km/L.
Boy I tell you malakas na yung 8km/L.Meron nga nagpapanic na kapag bumaba ng 10km/L FC ng Vios. :lol:
When the traffic clears out, on city driving best I got was around twelve. Highway I got around 19km/L. 21km/L is achievable but I was too impatient to drive * a constant of 80kph.
Vios' ODO is 1k+ only.
Also, I've driven a 2.7L VVTi Fortuner. Traffic as well, and it was a lot longer than your 90 mins, there were a lot of stops too (w/o the engine being shut down) as I had to pick something up at various places. FC, according to the MID is 5.8km/L. Give and take 1km/L less, that's around 5km/L. Fortuner's ODO was 80k.
The FD we have here at home also experience traffic on a regular basis, if I remember correctly, the worst FC it got was around 6km/L.
FDs ODO 60-70k kms
For a 1.4L, 4km/L is simply unacceptable, for me... at least. However, if I was driving a 2.5L FXT (got around 5km/L on it last time I drove one...) or a 4.8L V8 Expedition masaya na ko sa 4km/L hehe.
FXTs ODO ~20k.
