8.7 km/L for Toyota 1.3

It does not depend on the age of the engine alone. Maintenance and driving style would also greatly affect fuel mileage. We have a 20 year old car that performs quite well. My 10 year old Accord (a/t) gets 8-9km/l.

The main difference with engines then and now is that most new models have computer controlled fuel injection.

C-5 daan ko.. usually traffik lang sa umaga but at night medyo luwag na esp. if i go out past 11pm...

what if palinis ko carburador ko? would this help?

or maybe sa idling; A/F mixture ko?

san ba mganda pa tune-up? mas okay ba sa casa nlang?

tune-up muna the best way. casa. or a toyota-trained mechanic.

A tune-up would be a good idea if you have not done this yet within the past 6 months. A little DIY knowledge would be a lot of help too.

If the idling speed or timing is not good fuel consumption would also usually go up.

takaw naman nyan. i get 10+km/l city driving on my 1.6L auto tranny mitsu, aircon always on. baka malaki na butas ng jet ng carb. may overhauling kit yan.

My corolla XE '96 - 9 km/li. city driving - Novaliches - Makati 30 kms one way. Nung bago sya mga 10 km/li. I think malakas ang consumption natin. My Innova Gas 2.0- same route, is 8 km/li.

i think all other things being equal except engine size, the gas mileage would be the same. e.g. corolla AE101 GLi and XE. because even though the XE has a 1.3L engine vs. the GLi, it's hauling the same weight around, and the "hotel load" is the same (aircon and power steering).

as for the 2.4L -- baka naman VVTi-L na camry yun :P i've "heard" that the 2.4L camry engine gets 1.6L mileage due to the VVTi-L.

personally i think 8.7km/L for that sort of driving is already acceptable. heck, here i am suffering with 6km/L mileage..

I think your gas consumption is way to high for that little engine. By comparison, here is some of my vehicles consumption;
3.3 truck - 20 mpg = 8 km per liter
3.0 van - 22 mpg = 9 km per liter
2.0 car - 35 mpg = 14 km per liter

It would be a good idea to get your car tuned-up by a trustworthy mechanic. Not all casa/dealer mechanic is good and not all run-down mechanic is bad, its how they work and how long they guarantee their work.
