peepz, malakas b tlga sa gas ang galant na shark look? napansin ko kc sa carfinder na mejo mura lng xa.. and m considering buying one.. how bout ung lancer mx 2001, tipid b un sa gas?

ano ba sa standards mo sa sinasabing malakas sa gas?
sa panahon ngayon ang malakas sa gas para sa akin ay < = 9 km / liter. So ang sagot ko yes, malakas sya sa gas at 2.0 Super Saloon version pa lang ito.
Iyong galant ng papa ko "matipid" na ang 8km / liter pag city driving pag heavy traffic nag sisix lang ito. Pag mabilisan ang drive nasa 5 km / liter. Pag highway or long distance driving nag 10 km/liter pa ito.
Lancer MX 2001 pare parehas lang yan hehehe. My wild guess would be 8-9 km /liter city driving. You won't see the jump on the fuel consumption of those cars unless you drive a Jazz or a Vios.
without having to do some tests, engine displacement would already be one factor in determining the FC.It would be logical to conclude that the higher is the engine displacement (2.0L), the higher would be the fuel consumption as compared to smaller sized engines (1.3L or 1.6L). And you have driving styles, car maintenance, terrain, etc to consider too. My Lynx in Baguio city driving (with all the uphill traffic) is 6 km/L pero 1.6L lang siya. Masaya na ako pag nakaka 7/L siya.
Maybe inputs from Galant and Lancer guys would be of help...
no different. 6a13 yun sa galant vr. v6 yun engine. sympre mas lakas sya sa mga 1600 na 4cyl.
iba yun ride and comfort ng mid size sedan like the galant vs mga 1600-1800cc small size sedan.
One thing i've noticed about Lancers is that medyo malakas sa gas. I have friends who have different models of lancers (itlog, pizza pie, 2001 MX's) parang pare-pareho ang fuel consumption. The Galant as far as i could remember is much malakas sa gas compared to the ordinary lancer. Pero overall styling mas okay for me ang lancer compared to the other brands.
mukhang ganun na nga ang trend. less comfort, more fuel efficiency. more comfort, less fuel efficiency.
never driven a Shark type Galant but I have driven a V6 Nissan Cefiro and ang sagot ko sa tanong mo TS..
OO, napakalakas sa gas hehe. 5-7km/l on city driving.![]()
one thing about those V6s... they're quite sturdy engines. maraming ng 96 model na 1.6 engines out there na may singaw or blow by, pero nissan/mitsu v6s from the same period, tahimik at malalakas pa humatak ngayon. kahit pa yung mga inabuso ng husto.
yun nga lang malakas talaga sa gas. my cefiro does about 5-7 to a liter now, 10-11 highway. friends of mine who own both v6 and conventional 1.6s do say na mas matibay talaga mga midsize cars. one friend with a cefiro has never had his suspension system serviced, or the engine opened apart from change oils. samantalang yung isang toyota nya na 1.3 nakaka ilang palit na daw ng shocks, plus timing belt, waterpump... nag overheat na din twice.
I've been hearing a lot about the low fuel efficiency of lancers. I have one myself. I can't still figure it out why my lancer 2000 mx uses more fuel than my previous honda city 1999 1.5 exi. With the lancer, I can get 6-8 km/liter fc, city driving, while it was 10-11 km/l on the honda.![]()
Your Honda city has a smaller engine, and is likely manual (automatic Hondas don't have such good consumption). If I remember right, the 2000 MX not only has a bigger engine, it's the high horsepower variant that was also available in the GSR, and only comes mated to a four-speed automatic that has very long gearing. And the kicker is, the MX weighs about four hundred pounds more than the City. Obviously, it's going to suck gas like crazy in comparison.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
I had the Lancer GLi (1.5 EFI) when I was in freshmen college. Natatakawan na ako sa konsumo niya although hindi pa ako marunong mag-compute ng km per liter noon. I was vindicated when a friend who drives an MX (yes, the INVECS matic tranny is supposed to be gas pedal friendly as per the brochure) says matakaw din daw sa gas yung Lancer niya.
Considering pure unleaded pa ang gasolina noon (6 years ago) na supposed to be ay mas efficient ang burn compared to the E10 we have today.
With today's E10 and the carb 1.6 engine I have, I could say mas matipid pa sa gasolina itong carb ko ngayon (ironically, it's a Mazda on big rims). Maybe I have grown enough to have a light foot on the gas and have learned the basics of proper maintenance for fuel efficiency.
Two cents.
