Fuel Efficiency

[amoy_payong]

marami nga nagsasabi na mabilis mag init ang vios kaya yung vios batman taxi namin pinalagyan ko ng aux fan.

Funny story, I've heard that with the previous car, one taxi company found the best way to maintain reliability and economy with the Vios was to install an extra cooling fan on the radiator.

Glad to learn this hear. Thanks Sir Niky. - Gen3 vios e at owner

Another fuel saving tip from Taxi drivers. 1/2 Seaoil unleaded & 1/2 Petron unleaded.

How does this help? I'm skeptical about it.

Kwentong kutchero o barbero lang pare ko. You know how they are. No scientific basis whatsoever.

may katotohan nga po ito. Way back the time of box type mitsubishi lancer, ang pamangkin ko nag reklamo na hirap at parang ang bigat ng andar ng lancer nya. Umiinit ang hangin buga ng aircon, malakas consumo ng gas. My solution: Installed auxiliary fan (from surplus shop) in front of the radiator (there's enough space there) with relay tied to the temperature sensor/switch. Ayos ang problema. Lumamig ang aircon at tumipid pa consumo ng gasolina.

I agree on this one.

I used to complain a lot on how hot the aircon of my 97 hilander would blow in traffic. Officemate suggested I install an aux fan and promptly gave me a surplus aux fan from an LC100. Now everyone complains how cold the aircon is :D.

Another modification I made was to change the air filter to a cone type racing filter. Fuel consumption went from 10km/l to 12 km/l city and from 14 km/l to 18km/l highway. "Daddy driving" mode yan. Ibang usapan pang NFS mode :P
