when we say prematurely, how much faster is that? My last car lasted 7 years with me before I sold it and wala naman aircon related problems. Maybe the cars of today is built better to withstand punishment older cars couldn't take? I dunno, just asking.
But anyway, nakakatamad din naman minsan patay-buhay. Its been days since I did it. Pero nakakatipid sya.
btw: Consistent na ung car ko 10-10.5 liters/100 kilometers. Hindi na nawawala sa range na ito.
My Mazda 3 1.6L V A/T 2010 model is consuming 6.5 to 7km/L. Light-footed here and mostly using the paddle shifter with minimal acceleration and aircon usage. Seldom in traffic and mostly used in Edsa and highways. Anyone experiencing the same? Pls share.
my bad, di pala "paddle shifter" sa mazda. hehe. anyways, since mazda 3 uses electronically-controlled fuel injection system, may possibility ba na mali ang amount of fuel na binubuga nya sa engine? i know the fact that m3 is much heavier than the toyota altis but fuel efficent ang altis as compared sa m3 and uses the same efi system. kung ang curb weight difference nila is around ave. weight of two persons, big difference ba? possible ba na marecalibrate ang m3 to be fuel efficient sa city driving? subok ko m3 sa slex or nlex na tipid pero sa city khit below 2k rpm, hindi.
traditional A/Ts give horrible economy in the city.
from i10s to vioses to mazda2s, pag A/T, matakaw talaga compared sa manual.
the weight makes a huge difference, if I remember, parang 1,200 kg lang ata ang altis, ang mazda 3 ata 1,350-1,400 kg. the car has to rev harder and use more fuel for the heavier car
regarding "mali" ang binibigay na fuel: madumi na ang oxygen sensor mo pag ganun. the stock ECU already mixes an optimal amount of fuel with the air - not too rich, not too lean... it's programmed for efficiency, not power.

ah ok. 3 months-to-date pa lang yung M3 ko from Mazda Makati. Ganun na sya kaagad kadumi? Btw, I recently saw some tiny rust spots all over the car. makinis ang paint but the rust is beneath it. inangal ko nga kasi baka ako pa magshoulder ng paint job after the warranty. white kasi kaya kita. Those who have dark colors you may check it baka meron na din kayo. mazda told me try nila kung kaya sa buffing. if not, charge sa warranty and no choice but to repaint it nila buong car. hehehe.
