2008 Mitsubishi Lancer EX GLX / GLS / MX / GT / GTA [ARCHIVED]

[niky]

malaki ba difference ng fuel consumption ng 1.8 sa 2.0 na kotse?sa lancer ko kasi mga 9km/L lang talaga ako..sa 50 liters ko nakaka 450 km lang ako..ok lang ba yun?o malakas ako sa gas?

Depends on the engine in question and the car in question. The difference is not going to be very big.

9 km/l is okay if that's your daily commute. what's your route?

Wag ka na makipagtalo sa kanila, no sense winning an argument with them. They are SALES agent from the word SALES dapat alam mo na lahat ng stir ibabato nila to make the SALE.

Yeah its absurd for a 2000cc engine to make 10-12 in the city here...

your right sir tidus, the best ko na FC sa city driving is 6-7km/L with traffic. pag highway driving 12.3km/L from manila to urdaneta. Sales talk lang talaga yan..

[Chrionic]

Average FC for my Lancer GT is 9.6km/l to 11km/l city driving in Baguio. For the highway it's 14km/l to 17km/l. I had to adjust my driving habits to the mitigate the increasing price of gas. This is conservative driving.

Yes, the Lancer EX GLS have "optitron" guages like the ones found in the GT/GTA models. It also has the electronic multi-info display between the guages.

^thanks GH

How about this one?

No idea regarding the GPS compatibility of the HU.

In my case, I don't really care if it's compatible. I have my own GPS device that I place in the in-car holder when I need it.

Same for my brother since he has a GARMIN GPS device separate from the car's HU. Convenient for him to move it between his existing cars (all of them without built-in GPS).

sir chrio 9 -11km/l? Ang tipid mo mag drive, dati nung bago kaya yan pero ngayong pa 20k nako milyahe parang nasa 7-8km/l nalang ako best effort.

*bluerolla.
Compatible, but not out of the box.
YOu have to buy a pioneer GPS module and connect it to your stereo.
Alternately, buy a cheap cellphone w/ GPS. Load it w/ Garmin mobile XT + PH map. Connect the video / audio out to your pioneer as what I did to my P4150DVD.

sure kayo sir GH? this must be for the 2010 models then. mine is an 09 GT-A and it does not have optitron gauges.

If anyone's interested, there is a guy planning to sell his Lancer EX GTA.

Check the Fortis sub-forum.

Downside, the car is on a 36 month bank loan, I think.

[tidus1203]

Yeah hard sell yan, who the hell would want to buy a used car with a bank balance? I don't there is no benefit to it you are paying interest on brand new price on an already used car!

But it could also be opportunity to negotiate it to be sold under the market value.

BTW, assuming the 36 month loan, can't the remaining balance be settled in a single payment (sans interest)?

[tidus1203]

Dunno, di ako marunong sa auto loans never had one... Pero from the perspective of the bank malamang di papayag unless you get some kind of penalty since they will forego their interest income...

*rllopez1229 and oliver1013,

I have breached 20k odo reading but I am still able to reach 9k/li and above per full tank. Here are some I follow since it works for me. These are not the ultimate scrooge driving tips though.

1. Plan your route. Shortest is not always the most efficient. I'd rather go with the longer route with long stretches than the shortcut with a lot of humps and uphill. I also lump errands (when I have any) based on location so I don't have to use the car unnecessarily.
2. I've read somewhere that coasting on a gear is better for fuel consumption than coasting on neutral. This is also safer given that going neutral on a downhill is inviting accidents. All opportunities for coasting are maximized.
3. I don't warm up the car. I find that there is no need. So far no problems encountered. I find that idling the car decreases fuel mileage. Just don't floor the gas or drive hard from a cold start.
4. When at a traffic stop for more than 15 seconds, I switch off the car. This might be non applicable for you guys in the lowlands since switching off the car engine is tantamount to no airconditioning. I still use aircon all the time here in Baguio but I have the advantage of going without aircon for a few minutes.
5. I maintain a tire pressure of 36 psi. Stock wheels for the GTA. Wider tires and softer tires also play a factor in fuel mileage. It used to have 40psi from factory. There is probably a good reason for this but I find 40psi too hard.
6. I don't go faster than I have to. I sometimes have to wake up earlier to avoid traffic and to avoid rushing. It helps a bit. Also related to planning your route.
7. Keep a cool head and keep your pride in check. I don't go driving after the driver who overtook me since I am not in a rush. I also know that the difference between me and the overtaking driver in the next traffic stop is only a few seconds or minutes. It does not make much of a difference as long as I reach my destination intact and on time.
8. Preventive Maintenance is done regularly to ensure that the car is functioning as it should be. A few bucks spent now will save you gas and possible repair cost if the car is not taken care of.

Well that is all I can think off but 9k/li is possible with the car.
