Was surprised with my FC today. I travelled back from Mariveles, Bataan to Manila, and the MID showed 12.9 km/L. However, when I filled up, the actual FC was 14.81 km/L. With the same route and driving style, I only get 12-14 km/L with the Vios 1.3.

good job! very nice fuel consumption, got also 12 km/l when i went to bulacan from muntinlupa balikan. kasama na yung crawling sa edsa from magallanes to balintawak. nagulat ako nag stay lang cia sa 10km/l sa edsa, ginamit ko lang yung smooth driving at seldom hard braking.

ano po ba yung mga usual na technique nio sir para makatipid merun po ba or natural lang?

Naturally, malakas ako sa gas magdrive kasi mainitin ulo ko. But I make an active effort to do the ff:

- Stay patient and calm. Getting your mindset right is more important than any technique.

- Accelerate only as much as you need to. Keep your pedal input as light as possible, especially if you've reached your desired speed. I've found that pedal input is more important than the gear that you're in.

- Pick the right gear. Most people know that high rpms are wasteful if you don't need the power, but too low of an rpm will also make the engine struggle and consume more gas as you have to increase pedal input to maintain your speed. With a CVT, the car's smart enough to pick the right rpm for you, all you have to do is control your pedal input.

- Plan ahead. If you're approaching a stoplight, coast as early as you can as opposed to continuing to step on the gas then wasting all that energy by braking again as you arrive at the stop light. When driving on a highway, if you know you're approaching the car in front of you, then coast so you keep a safe driving distance, as opposed to having to brake. Actually, braking is very wasteful so try to brake as little as possible (without compromising safety of course).

When I'm driving calmly, I usually shift at around 1800-2000 rpm. When I'm in a hurry or in a bad mood, I shift close to redline and this really consumes a lot of gas.

ibang klase ka talaga sir super expert ka na, salamat sa mga priceless tips na ito, kaya naman pala mataas ang km/l mo, yung patience and calmness, merun ako nyan, take note ko yung iba brod, para maganda din ang results ko.
