8.3L/100KM (12km/L) hataw mode. 140kph sa nlex, 160 kph sa sctex (may misis kasi nakasakay sa likod, speed limiter!), 100-140kph sa magilas, 100-120kph sa macarthur when traffic permits, pag matraffic e ano pa ba as fast as the tricycle will go. 3 adults and 4 kids plus 2 kaing na mangga on the way back.
dami nahuli sa SCTEX pag labas namin sa tarlac. hehe, di nila nakita yung may radar gun sa concepcion. malayo pa lang nakita ko na yung pickup sa flyover na kunwari sira nakataas yung hood, pero dun sa passenger side may guy na may radar gun.

na-compare ko na FC sa manual method, di naman nagkakalayo pag long drive. ang malaki ang difference pag city diving kasi syempre average FC, e zero siya pag naka-stop e umaaandar naman ang engine. saka pag traffic taas ng FC nasa 15-20L/100km tapos pag libre na traffic biglang baba ng 5-8L/100km so yung lalabas na average e malayo sa actual.
5 seater lang sir. ako saka 2 kids sa harap, si misis, yaya and 2 kids sa likod. reklamo sila hahaha, lalo na inflate ko tyre pressure to 38 psi front/40 psi rear e di matagtag. di na daw sila sasama next time na sorento ang gamitin ko for long drive. reklamo ni misis e leg room sa likod, sanay kasi sa starex.

Kia sportage 2.0 Revgt 10km/l city driving
12km-16km/l highway driving
Just to update my Fuel Consumption.
2013 Sorento LX. ODO * 2600km.
So its not fully broken in.
*starting pt.departed 4am: Unioil Mindanao ave to load fuel and RESET Tripmeter B.
*Destination : Banaue Ifugao rice terraces.
* End. Pt (daytime driving: Unioil Buendia. Arrvd 11PM.
* Driving condition: slow provincial roads and i do overtake most of the time. Meaning hataw mode.
* Distance : 677km (yeah in 1tank of diesel).
* FC by trip computer : 7.5li/100km or 13.8kpl.
This is the strange part.... after dividing TripMeter-B distance w/ 57li loaded up at Buendia... it results in 11.8kpl (677km/57li)....
so why such a big descrepancy?
Anyway even with the lower figure i think its still pretty good for an SUV!.
