most of the routes I find in going to vigan, did not use sctex. maybe because those are old routes. is it better to take sctex when going to vigan/pagudpud?

di pa ko nakaka daan sa sctex e. saan exit ba ng nlex yung access to sctex?

also, this coming week is a long holiday, do you think accomodation in vigan would be a problem? should I reserve a place before leaving manila?

sensya na daming tanong

SCTEX cuts traveling time by at least an hour or two. So better take it na lang. 69 petot lang naman yata from Dau to Tarlac.

Exit ng SCTEX ay Tarlac, Tarlac na near Luisita Business Park.

Daming places to stay pero since nga Holy Week, baka mahirap. Better visit mga websites nila and give them a call para maka-inquire ka.

My rough estimate: 30+30+30+20=110 liters

Distance traveled was 550+550+150=1250km

That means 1250/110 = 11.4Km/L..... (I was expecting something like 14Km/L)....

Nice. I didn't get to compute for the actual figures. Actually, I travelled 1300kms. Quite near from your estimate. How did you get the liters figures? How big is the gas tank of an Innova anyway?

Whatever the real figure is, I expect it to be lower than the average because of my heavy foot.

I had that route fairly mapped, so I am quite confident that my distance computation is kind of near your actual...

I don't own one bro.,- but my sister has one. According to her, a full tank is about 60L. So, there's my estimate of about 30L per half tank....

Our Starex and their Innova went up to Baguio last January.... If I remember correctly, one way, ours have 3/8 left, while theirs still has 5/8 left going up (60L full tank)... The distance is about 250Km. So, our Starex A/T has a fuel rate consumption of about 250/37 = 6.7Km/L, while theirs(M/T) is about 250/22.5 = 11.1Km/L.....And, she told it me it can actually do 14Km/L...

We toured up to pagudpud last 12-14 May'09. I've used this thread as a guide up to laoag then a friend toured us thru pagudpud, patapat viaduct, blue lagoon, windmills, cape bojeador, Saud beach, etc.

Talagang sulit ang pagpunta ng pagudpud, 7 kami, car is isuzu sportivo.
