Kilometers per liter consumed by a 1300 and a 1600

[man]

Although it is a costly experiment, I bought a khaos fuel saver device two years ago and measure my gasoline consumption, and alas! from 12 km to 14-16km per liter saving, plus of course my driving should be in a cruising speed only you can try this. My experiment involved my bipassing the fuel hose to a 1 liter gas container. Happy gas saving!

tanong lang guys...ano mas malakas sa gas 1.6L AT cars circa 90s (Sentra S3, Rolla GLi bigbody, lancer itlog/pizza) or 2.0L MT cars in mid90s (7g galant, 94 Accords, Corona)?

That's a very very good question.... in traffic, it'd probably be a tie. I've never seen better than 7-8 km/l in traffic in my 626... maybe 6-7 if I'm unlucky and traffic is heavy, but consumption was almost as bad in our AT 00' Exalta STA (which had the same engine as the 90's Sentras, just with VTC, which only came on that one).

On the highway, given a light foot, the 1.6 AT should consume less. That's should, not will... there are some ATs out there that really don't work well with 1.6 liter engines (Mazda/Ford is one good example, I think..., Chevrolet is an even better one... :evillaugh )

My Sentra 2005 GX average 10 km/L on mixed city/hiway driving....

My driving styles:
- shift gear agad pagdating sa 2k rpm
- i do rest my right foot often, meaning di ganun kabigat apak ko sa gas, papitik-pitik lang
- i always calculate when its time to brake like when i see intersection or red lights, bitaw sa gas, shift to neutral then free wheeling.
- whenever i start/turnoff the engine, am don't rev heavily.

vhenok. ano ride no a/t or m/t? sa akin kasi Sentra 2006 gx(m/t) pero fuel consumption ko 6-7km/l city driving. also same tayo ng driving styles. lagpas kana ba sa 10000km mark. mileage ko is 1800km palang kaya cguro matakaw.

what do you think?

my 97 1.3 city (manual) used to do 10-12,my current matic exalta 1.6 does 7-8

Mine is better. I also drive a Nissan Sentra Exalta 1.6 L. STA Yr 2000 model & on the average i'm getting 9.5 kms. per liter of unleaded gasoline combined Alabang-Las Pinas traffic & SLEX. For an automatic transmission user, driving habits shall definitely improve fuel consumption.

vhenok- Pa update lang kung nag improve na mileage mo bro. * 9,700 mileage wife's gx A/T did 9.6 km/li on a recent trip (manila-zambales-pampanga)....looks good na, but it would be better if I can push it to 12 km. / li
