It really depends on your driving habits and daily route. If you're crawling in rush hour traffic every day and your trips are all very short (mga 5-10kms lang), then your consumption may be normal. Cars really drink more gas when the engine is cold (it takes about 3-4kms to warm up...) or if you're idling for a long time in traffic.

bro, new owner din ako ng 1.5 A/T na vios (nasa break-in period pa lang)... how often do you check your hood for let's say, water and fluids? dapat ba icheck ko ung radiator lagi for water?

Every morning while the engine is cold would suffice. But this is kind of OA. Still, better safe than sorry. You don't have to open up the radiator, just look at the coolant overflow bottle. Mark the level it's at in the morning (a pentel mark on the side of the bottle should suffice) and check it every morning after. It should stay the same, or if it gets lower, it should get lower slowly. If it loses a lot of coolant in one day, something might be wrong.

The coolant bottle will have a higher level when it's hot (like after an hour in traffic). You might want to mark that level, also. If the level is above that mark after a drive in traffic, your radiator cap may be worn out, or you may have other problems, like a slow radiator fan, etcetera.

As for oil, it should be full when the engine is cold. It will be lower when the engine is on, because the oil is circulating, and the oil only settles around five to ten minutes after you turn off the engine.

Drive slower over humps. Manila's potholes can wreck shock absorbers pretty quickly.

Well... the title is just "vios"... so...

As for economy... the brand new Vios is pretty amazing. 15 km/l with those bling-bling 17" wheels we tested it on... pretty good.
