    Help mga experts baka may alam kayo kung paano at ano pede gawin para tumipid sa gas gamit kong Elantra wagon 1.6 Dohc engine na MATIC..

    Ilang kilometro po ba dapat ang itinatakbo nito per liter pag ganito makina ko.
    Almost 5 km/liter lang ang sa akin base sa observation ko city driving, ANO KAYA PROBLEM DITO, dinala ko na sa Servitek may mga indjust sila base sa computer nila pero ganon pa din... bago spark plugs , na tune up na, new air filters... HELP naman po kung ano pa pwede gawin.

    What's your route? Talagang magastos sa gas ang 1.6 AT... and old Hyundai gas engines aren't very efficient compared to others, too.

    Kung Makati route ka, that's probably typical.

    Have your compression checked and also look at your exhaust. A leaking gasket on my 626 before lowered my fuel economy from 7 to 5 km/l.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Hi Sir Niky, ang route ko eh bicutan,moa back en fort, malakas sa gas sa tingin ko sa size ng engine nya. Eh mas malakas pang lumklak ng gas sa 2.0 Mazda Power Van na binenta ko...

    Up na lang natin baka makakuha pa tayo ng ibang inputs sa mga experts. Thanks

    Check the condition of everything. Do an oil change, check compression, check your exhaust.

    But, I'm telling you, since it's an old Hyundai engine, chances are that's normal for the design.

    Sir Niky ask ko lang ilan ba dapat ang RPM nito kapag walang aircon ? 800rpm? tapos ilan ba pagmay aircon? 1000rpm? etong elantra matic ko eh 800rpm pag walang AC eh pag naka on AC pa bago-bago minsan 1000, minsan 1200 rpm pag naka stop sa traffic , saan pwede i-adjust rpm nito sabi ng tumingin sa Servitek di daw ma-aadjust kase automatic na daw... Pero sa tingin ko masyado mataas RPM ko... Saan kaya may problema ito sa pabago bago ng RPM?

    Even if it's automatic, there should be an adjustment screw on the throttle body.

    It could be a vacuum problem giving you high rpms, but I don't know much about your specific car. Best to take it to an expert... Columbia Motors (near St. Luke's, I think) might have mechanics more familiar with the car than Servitek.
