City Driving....10 to 12 km/li...? Yan ba ung 1.2 variant?

**Verbl Kint** · July 10th, 2012 03:05 AM

2012 Kia Soul
1.6 Gamma DCVVT 6AT

I was only able to get better mileage after my 1k PMS and after doing more miserly driving. I will be moving to fully synthetic on 5k PMS (now on 2.8k).

I'm trying now with the ECO mode off. I feel that I have better pick up and not need to press the gas pedal further. However, I've been getting 6.8 km/L mileage. Routes are typically:

North QC to Manila - 4X a week
North QC to Ayala Ave. - once a week
Sat night out at either BGC or Newport

With ECO:

25.53L for 209.4km (8.20 km/L; trip computer shows: 11.9L/100km)
40.01L for 387.4km (9.68 km/L; trip computer shows: 10.6L/100km)

Without ECO:

31.92L for 215.6km (6.75 km/L; ; trip computer shows: 13.9L/100km)
26.75L for 182.3km (6.81 km/L; ; trip computer shows: 13.5L/100km)

Manual calculations were used unless indicated. Tire pressure on 36 PSI and using 97 RON fuel ("automatic" when filling up at the pump, not "sagad").

I cannot help regarding FC but about CRDi. CRDi means Common Rail Diesel Injection System. This is electronic controlled diesel injection/combustion engine kaya wala/hindi mausok, minimal engine vibration, not noisy & plenty of torque..it's just like driving a gasoline feed vehicle...summing up = joy to drive + tipid sa diesel oil consumption.

i dont know about the MT. pero sporty AT is around 13~L/100km for the gas and 10~L/100km for the crdi.

crdi engines are still noisier than petrol counterpart pero less thab the old school diesel cars. oil requirements is also more.

AFAIK, Sorento's only engine displacement is a 2.2L. Tapos Sporty = Sportage

Update pala sa FC ko, through manual computation (android's refueling database app) it's now 11~km/L from 10~km/L. Not bad considering I was stuck in EDSA with heavy traffic for two nights this week

Di ata ako aabot sa 5000 kms in 3 months

Usual traffic: QC to Makati * morning (light), Makati to QC * night (med-heavy). Lalo na last week, got stuck in non-moving traffic due to floods

Starting 7/22/2012 computation is with the RaceChip Pro I am willing to part with
