the most economical speed on philippine roads...

[me_jake13]

yup..thats what i do..it helps nga..pero shempre iba talaga ang m/t..

[glntVR]

iba talaga ang m/t sa a/t pero if u have an a/t car... try to be light on the gas pedal and it will give u a good mileage. i think a/t trannys can also shift at around 2k rpm with a light foot.

[me_jake13]

yup, my car does usually shift at around 2k..basta kelangan talaga dahan dahan sa gas peal

[cutedoc]

i tried rav4 sa long drive fron tarlac 2 manila with rounds in manila, nakauwi pako tarlac sobra pa gas, so i could say medyo matipid, but bago pa lang so i cant say more yet

keep the light foot on A/Ts. From what I know, in theory, A/t's are supposed to be more efficient.

[niky]

ATs are only more efficient on the highway, because their Overdrive gear is usually longer than the fifth gear on a manual. In stop and go traffic, they suffer because of the weight of the transmission and torque converter. The new CVTs are more energy efficient.

[ram]

in city driving especially during traffic hours, in most probability one can only manage 40-60 kph. in which case, you're at a low gear which translates to higher fuel consumption. dito advantageous and mga A/T in terms of comfort kahit na hindi sa fuel economy

[me_jake13]

yup!! m/t becomes to much of a hassle in traffic..
