8.7 km/L for Toyota 1.3

[kupaloids]

May kino-consider ba na base settings ang pag tune up ng carb?

Yung parang pag sa air jet 4 turns from closed at 6 turns from closed naman yung sa fuel? :dunno:

[MISFITS]

we have the same car model but your consumption is quite high. I consume +/- 12 to 15 km/l, i just maintain a good tune-up and a wheel/tire alignment. office to work lang din, sa hapon ko lang open ang aircon.

shell gas station lang ako kasi i've noticed pag sa petron medyo malakas ang consumo. just my personal oberservation.

peace

I use to own a 1300cc big body XL. nakaka 10km/li ako, pero pag super traffic 6-8 km/li lang. sa highway 12-14 km/li depending sa mood ko...hehehe. a similar 1600 efi toyota of my neighbor has the same consumption as mine. mas efficient talaga ang efi equipped engine than one that has a carb in it.

Madaming variables to consider to gauge fuel effeciency between an old (ten years or more) and a year or less old car. As a car aged components wears out. You might not notice it but your bearings isn't as smooth as it was before. Your clutch slips a little, tires get old...and so on. Oh, and there's the so called upgrade - changing to wider/bigger tires, etc.

Actually, his consumption is just right for a carburated 1.3 here in Philippine conditions. Philippine traffic and heat often result in a huge consumption penalty as opposed to US urban conditions.

under heavy traffic it may be possible na 8.7km per liter city driving. my route from katipunan to cainta and back is not subject to heavy traffic, thus i get 10km/L. 1996 Sentra LEC 1.3, aircon is always on.
I fill up every monday once a week, full tank "sagad". log my km and the gas that was loaded in my phone. average of 10.29km/L from Jan of 1996 to Sep 6, with 5 out of town trips only up to tagaytay.

for the past few days, I've been driving a Toyota Corolla XE 1.3 (m/t)

city driving - 7.5 km/l (+/-5%)
highway - 9 km/l = speed didn't exceed 80kph

ang lakas noh? looks like it needs some attention...

Also take into account what youre hauling... baka lagi kang may mabigat na dala. My 1.6 baby goes 8.8 km/l at full tank pero pag hindi 12+ km/l ang nagagwa ko. This is mixed city/highway... highway ang mas matimbang.

Proper tuneup will cure that. I heard from my friends an XE could go past 10 km/l.

[mazdamazda]

lakas lumaklak nyan ah... hehehe.

my 2.0L engine is doing 10km/L currently.

Same observation saking Baby Xe..


Uhmm.. I think its normal.. mabigat ang kaha ng big body..

tapos underpowered sya.. so you need to push on gas para lng mag ka power..

XCS lng sakin.. highway 10km/l City 8/9km/l

Im in top condtition right now.
