August 19th, 2017 08:06 AM #63some say that, km/li-wise, it is better to refuel with the gas tank, emptier.
they say the weight of the fuel, cuts into the fuel efficiency, that it is like having a small child in the vehicle at all times.
well, in my opinion, that may be, but the savings is probably so minimal for the trouble.
i've been filling up when my gauge points to near-zero for decades. i have not noticed any ill-effects.
some parts of UPLB are baguio-like. uphill and downhill.

August 19th, 2017 08:07 PM #64Hi Altuy and Dr.D
Usually by the end of the week my fuel gauge is at the halfway mark sometimes just over, sometimes just under. I tend to refuel here in Muntinlupa during the weekends as gas prices are higher in Los Baños.
I also encounter heavy traffic at Calamba and I do pass the Bucal bypass road which has steep parts and as dr.d said some of the roads in UPLB are Baguio-like.
I've been practicing driving with a lighter foot this week hehe. I will post my numbers when I refuel

August 21st, 2017 04:21 PM #68Oh... thanks, dr. d. I get it now. It does make sense; but I'm inclined to agree the benefit is minimal.
I've been sharing my ride going to work. I'm with at least 2 or 3 people from Cainta to QC; and with 3 or 4 people from QC to Cainta. I still average north of 9 km/l with my Altis.
A couple of considerations, though:
- I haven't tried near-emptying my fuel tank with just myself on board.
- Most of my company are also girls; about 95% to 97% of the time.
Still not bad
I hope I didn't put pressure on you when I said that I thought you could still go farther with less fuel
