Ilocos Tour with my Mitshubishi Adventure

[nayki]

I just want to share my Mitsubishi Adventure’s our recent 4 day Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte Tour last November 2010. I only included main places in this summary, but we also went to Batac, Paoay, and Bangui in Ilocos Norte. This trip is very tiring because of the great distance and I am the sole driver, but at the same time worthy because of the beautiful places we visited. I will come back to Ilocos someday maybe once TPLEX is finish up to Rosario, La Union.

siguro kung 2 lang kayo puwede pumalo ng 15km/liter yan noh. kasi taas yan 10km/liter parang lakas sa diesel

[nayki]

Yup mataas nga yang 10.97 km/L kasi 7 kami lahat plus the luggages pa then hataw pa ako pag dridrive dahil malayo ang byahe. Mga crdi powered at gasoline engine cars lang nakakauna sa akin minsan sa byahe.

Pero iyong byahe ko from Trinoma then nagkarga ako sa Mexico - NLEX gas station, nag compute ako ang fuel consumption ko is 13.125 km/L

My best fuel comsumption in my Advie before is around 14.5 km/L for Highway driving (80 kph max speed with 2 passengers)
