2010 Vios bad fuel consumption

[aejhayl17]

I just bought a brand new 2010 vios. This is a 1.3J model with manual trans. Before anything else, thanks to tsikot for helping me decide to buy this.

All in all, i'm pretty satisfied with the car, however it seems the fuel consumption is bad. I'm getting around 7km/liter with mostly city driving. I searched and it seemed that this is a bad fuel consumption as compared to what i saw such as 10 to 15 km/liter as what other claim.

The car has a millage of around 400km only. Im doing the full tank method for measuring the consumption.

question:

1. Is the consumption for a brand new suppose to be like this? (7km/liter)
2. Will the consumption improve after the first 1000km check up?
3. Is my driving method has something to do with this?

Answers will greatly be appreciated.

2.5km on 30-45mins heavy traffic can be put to blame.

and also, do you use to idle longer than 3 mins? lets say, more than 10 mins?

hi, i also got the vios j 2010 last may 6, and i immediatly replaced the stock rims to 17inch. Im also experiencing very low fuel consumption. 500 lagi ang pinapagas ko so thats 11.11 liters more or less then i reset the trip meter every time i gas up. 80km lang ang tinatakbo ubos nanaman ang 11liter? i only get 7.2km/L pure city driving. The car only has 1,400km reading and i recently had the 1st 1,000 check up, ganun parin consumption. is it because of the 17Inch mags? hindi kaya ng 1.3 engine ang bigat ng mags? or break in talaga ang solution? and my ofice is exactly 2km from our house, does short distance travel affect fuel consumption? thanks

your mags will affect your fc. anyway, yung 80km mo, lagpas pa diyan ang actual na itinakbo mo dahil nag-iba na ang reading nang odo mo. please use tire calculator (search sa google). makikita mo doon ang difference from stock tires to your new tires.

isa pa, bagong-bago pa rin ang Vios niyo sir, try niyo lang i-break in minsan sa sctex or even slex/nlex lang.

Short distance city trips will really affect your fuel consumption. Try nyo minsan mahabaan na trips kahit sa City lang. Aabot ng 10+ yan. Kapag sa hway more or less 14.
