    yup yun nga. yung imbrienez ay yung street when you crossed the railways pagbaba ng sta mesa-pandacan flyover. tejeron yung pag lagpas mo ng stoplight sa may shell and petron gas stations.

    although bihira me dumaan talaga dyan pag umaga.

    sorry ulit sa OT. :D

    Good so I dont need to do it, just keep on doing it for life, hehehe. Good thing is we have accurate FC for J and for G a/t.

    Dont miss one gas receipt ha, otherwise gaganda FC nyo

    Another tip to improve our FC is by installing A/C switch, and use it for power management. A/C switch is use to disengage and engage the air compressor from the engine without controlling the thermostat (discussed previously). Whenever you need greater power like during hard acceleration especially when overtaking or during accending, by turning off the A/C switch momentarily the air compressor will be disengaged thus removing aircon load to your engine. By this, your engine will run faster and you dont need to step on the gas pedal harder, so this saves on gas and also protects our environment and another one good this is that the engine will not be over stressed. After that instance about 5 to 15 seconds switch on the A/C switch back again to maintain temperature of your cabin. This will not affect so much your inside temperature hahabulin naman ng thermostat yan and that is while the engine is lightly loaded. If you make this a habit tatagal ang makina mo.

    Not unless kung super init ang panahon and you have many passengers, hindi mo magagawa ito kasi maiinitan pasahero mo, if this the case you really have to burn more gas thus your engine will work harder.

    There are times kasi na ang engine natin is under loaded (during engine braking or pababa), or lighty loaded when sailing smoothly(pag nasa bwelo na o medyo patag na kalsada), and hardly loaded (during hard acceleration and accending) and sometimes even overloaded (during racing or matinding akyatan) that's the time you must turn off your aircon. Keep in mind that aircon is a big load. Parang sa bahay pinaka malakas kumunsumo ang aircon.

    Question: Baka masira ang air compressor kaka patay sindi.
    Answer: Patay sindi naman ang air compressor even if you maintain the A/C switch on in order to maintain the desired temp of your cabin.

    Btw, I already taught this to my younger sister and she keeps on doing it. Her car is an alto, powered by an 800cc engine. I told her you need this power management to keep your engine running for a long time.

    Iyong mga jeepney drivers, hindi gumagamit ng headlight para tipid sa gas. Mukang may sense kasi walang additional loading na maggagaling sa alternator para sa headlight. So tipid sa gas.

    FYI, ang mga LED na ilaw ay mababa ang consumo ng curyente kung ikukumpira sa incandescent na typical bulb ng sasakyan.

    Ang aircon talaga ay substantial ang contribution sa FC. For better or for worst. Pag ginamit, for worst. On my way home, pag di na ma traffic, I turn off the compressor. pag medyo mainit na, I turn off the fan and then open the windows. Sa umaga, hindi muna ako nag aircon hanggang hindi ako umaabot sa main road namay mga mauusok na sasakyan.

    Hydraulic ang power steering natin. This needs power mula sa engine. So kung mahilig kang magtahi ng daan, (tulad ko) nakakababa ng konti sa FC.

    It's maybe one of their reasons but their main reason is para makita ng pasahero karatula kung saang byahe sila.
    Yung iba na kumakarera may switch sila na pinapatay ang alternator para lumakas ang hatak ng makina.

    Yup, maliit ang consumption ng LED, so kung lahat ilaw natin LED then headlight is HID with same brightness with stock, hihina konsumo so hindi gaano mabigat ang ikot ng alternator na isa sa mga pumipigil sa makina. FYI merong nabibili na replacement bulb na LED di ko pa na try.

    Yup, may idle up pa yan na pag liliko ka tataas nya idle, the reason is bibigat kasi yung hydraulic.

    FYI yung honda city and jazz use electric power steering so less ang consumption, kokonsumo lang sya pag liliko ka not like yung hydraulic steering pirme gumagana ang hydraulic supply even di ka lumiliko.

    *shadow3616931,

    Try mo kaya ang bagong LED tail light na pag Avanza mula kay Marfin. Malaking possibility na wala pang may ganuon dito sa 'pinas.
    :D :D :D hehehehehe (tawang ala demonyo)
