Ang lakas ata sa gas. Please Check my fuel consumption

[mau2485]

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

[1D4LV]

traffic ba dinadaanan mo bro?

[mau2485]

Hindi naman. Edsa ako pero sunday naman.

[balugz24]

Bro lakas nga sa gas..Patune up mo na....

[mau2485]

Advice naman kung anu-ano ang mga dapat ko na patingin or pa tune-up. Balak ko na nga mag royal purple oil kung makakatulong na makatipid sa gas.

Please help po salamat ng marami!

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.

[mau2485]

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

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.

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?)

For a car with a 1400 engine kahit na A/T transmission, matakaw nga ang konsumo. Since it is already more than 10 years old, better have your mechanic checked it thoroughly. Kumbaga e general checkup.

lakas ng sa gas yung gamit ko 96 vti , 250 isang araw ko yan pero from cavite city to pasay ako, 75km, maybe pag ginawa mo ang advice nila magdecrease na rin ang fuel consumption mo pero slight lang ito madadagdagan ka lang ng 3km/liter max na yan

3km/l addition will be a great help if its true

[richie29]

Thats way too much bro...to cite by example, I have a 97 Sentra XE with the following mods: nodalos hedders and freeflow muffler, simota air intake/filter, ngk platinum tipped spark plugs and hyper-grounding system...the rest stock and i havent had the MAF cleaned or tuned since i got the car secondhand in 2003 ...i only change the oil and spark plugs religiously according to specs..yet i get 9-10kms city driving (thats 15kms to my work one-way) with the usual traffic though not heavy, and as much as 16 in the highway, staying at 80-90kph range!

have your car checked thoroughly, because something definitely wrong with it

[ferd_dg2005]

sapalagay ko, tama ka na matakaw sa gas yong car mo, 5km/liter?...grabi subrang takaw yan...normal yan sa car sa ganyang idad, hindi kasi design yan na fuel economy. ang maganda sa yo ay ibinta mo yan at bumili ka nang bagong car tulad ko, may bago akong toyota vios matipid sa gas. 13 to 16km/liter. cheers

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

here are some things you can do to improve fuel consumption:

1. pa-tune up
2. make sure tires are properly inflated
3. be gentle on the gas pedal
4. weight reduction - tanggalin ang mga bagay na di naman importante/ ginagamit sa trunk

btw.. best way to check your fuel consumption is to:
1. fill your tank up (full tank).
2. set your trip meter to "0".
3. drive.
4. next time you fill-up (full tank again) take note of how many liters of gas is needed until your tank is full. you can use this info together with your trip meter's reading to compute your fuel consumption.

Oo nga minsan gigil ako sa gas lalo na pag gusto ko ng acceleration. Lalo na pag naramdaman ko na nagshift na yung parang napaatras yung katawan ko sa upuan

My tires is at 30psi but shifted to 25 kasi masyado daw matigas ang 30. Parang ayaw ko ng 25 kasi parang umaalog yung sasakyan.

Weight reduction? wala po laman yung car baka siguro ako ang kailangan mag weight reduction hehe kulang sa lakad tinamad na kasi nasanay sa kotse

[1D4LV]

just have your car tuned-up. change spark plugs, change the fuel filter and air filter. also have your alignment checked.

[Horsepower]

25psi? no wonder malakas sa gas. Stick to 31-33 if you wanna save fuel. Hindi naman matigas yun, tama lang.

Check mo rin (Intake) Air filter baka barado na. That's usually the culprit most people forget.

If you drive fast, do as much coasting as much as possible. That's the secret in saving gas when driving an automatic. Dapat smooth ang driving, if you are too harsh with the accelerator, you'll end up wasting too much fuel.

Drive at top speed (if you can handle it) once in a while (to clean up the system).
