Hi Guys,

Paki check naman kung tama. My car is nissan sentra ex saloon AT 98 model.

My distance from my house to the office is 16km
i gas up 250php balikan na yun sabihin na natin na 40php/liter

250php/(40php/liter) = 6.25liters in 32 km kasi balikan

Mga 5.12km/liter? tama ba? parang ang lakas naman at sa gas

Ganyan din po yung sa akin e nasa 5 to 6kms per liter lang ang takbo... 96 na sentra A/T din di ko na alam gagawin kasi bagong tune up naman, nagsimula lang nung minsan na di nag start dahil ata sa maduming gas ang naikarga, tapos nung magawa tumaas ang idle pero kahit ibalik sa normal idle rpm lakas pa rin sa gas. May nakapagsabi sa akin na painitin ko muna makina bago ako umalis(lalo na kapag malapitan lang ang pupuntahan) para optimized na ang sunog ng gasolina at maging efficient ang makina. Ito na ginagawa ko ngayon pero di ko pa nasubukan sukatin ang FC ko ulit.

Nakakalungkot yung ganitong result

. 5-6km/l kahit naman siguro AT di naman siguro ganito dapat kalakas sa gas. Advice naman po kung ano ang dapat gawin or dapat ipa-tuneup. Hope you could share your experience and knowledge.

Thanks

What are the other stuff about your car? Has it been modified in some way like bigger wider wheels, headers, exhaust, timing, etc.

Have you checked your wheel alignment (toe/camber)?

Has it been tuned up recently?

is your normal route typically stop & go type of traffic? (do you have to press the brake often during the drive?)

All stock got it second hand.
Wheel alignment(toe/camber) - not yet
Tuned up - not yet
Smooth driving

I have read that i need to clean the Throttle valve assembly? will this help? how much is the labor for cleaning the throttle valve assembly. What are the things that needs to be tuned up? I will be scheduled for tune up this coming sept. All your suggestions will be noted. Thanks

siguro try to change the normal step of driving an A/T,ako kasi nalalakasan din sa gas ng civic ex 2003 A/T din.dati lagi akong sagad sa floor pag take off ko para matulin at mag change to hi gear. nasa 3500 pataas ang rpm lalo na pag ako ang nasa unahan sa traffic lite. sinubukan kong bahagya lng tapakan ang gas pedal palakas ng palakas hangang maabot ang tamang rpm to go sa next gear,ok din at mas matipid siya ngayon.medyo mabagal lng sa arangkada.ang hirap lng kasi sa PINAS pag nag ka space sa harapan mo sisingitan ka,kaya dapat mabilis kang makasunod sa sinusundan mo,dito sa U.S bihira lng ang sumisingit.any way, try mo lng baka makatulong yan and good luck.
