vtec 3 manual yun akin di pa ako bumaba sa 10 km/li. yung matic namin na vtec 3 bago nabenta di naman bumaba sa 9 km/li.
tingin ko driving habit lang yan, wag hataw kung di naman kelangan.

[DragonHeart]

sa SiR ko city driving na may hataw paminsan minsan im doing 10-11km/L

[IronMan]

VTi automatic trans. doing 11km/L on mostly highway driving.

wrcastro,
i'm driving along EDSA from ortigas to monumento. Medyo traffic lang from kamuning to cubao southbound and ortigas to kamuning southbound.

I also travel weekly to laguna via SSH.

I think vti is more efficient than lxi if you are driving below the 3,000 rpm band.

Kyahib,

Siguro depende sa dinadaanan. halos kokonti ang traffic light pala ng route mo. Ang daily route ko kasi is Tonda-Makati and Manila area lang. Kasi pag nasa Bulacan ako is about the same na din siguro. I will try to measure again. Thank you very much .

i should agree with khahib. mas hamak na malakas ang horsepower/cc ng vti kesa sa lxi.
there is one article that is published before sa isang broadsheet stating that boosting performance of an engine can save you a fuel. considering the efficiency in terms of power generated of performance-tuned engine than that of the stock one. that is, as based on the studies, stock engines can only give 75% of total output compared to the 90% of the performance-tuned engine.

eto pa mga guys, would you agree na ang lxi ay very much underpowered dahil sa body nya? hence, you need to step more on the gas pedal to achieve a certain speed. while on the vti or sir can give you the speed that you want by stepping lightly on the gas.

Tune-up? pano kaya malalaman kung wala na sa timing ang auto? kasi ako lang ang nagpapalit ng sparkplug and air filter .
Pero yung change oil ay pinagagawa ko sa shop. [/B][/QUOTE]

bro, i think dahil ssa mga efi at may mga ecu ang mga ride natin, di na kelangangan i check yan. ecu is the one handling that, which is pre-programmed. wag lang masisira ang ecu mo. in my experience, di pa me nagche-check kung wala sa timing ang engine ko. considering it was 8 years and di na pinapasok masyado sa casa. pero it was the same as it was, (performance-wise),para malaman mo kung wala na sa timing, mahina na humatak. of course, there are several factors pa rin. pero isa ito sa mga yun. post ko dito, i'll be researching for that one.

tune-up means, regular oil change: 5,000km for the mineral-based lube, 10,000 to 15,000 km for the synthetic lube. on extreme cases, synthetic oil can be used up to 50,000 km. pero abuso na yun!

valve-lifter adjustments(clearance). too tight can contribute to excessive fuel consumption, too loose can result to rattling noise. but no evidence that it contribute to excessive fuel consumption.

spark-plugs, correct gaps is a must.

bro, i can give the figures for the valve clearance and spark plug gaps(i read somewhere that accord uses the same heat range, please do correct me if i'm wrong) for the lxi in my next post. i'm encouraging also owners of the vti and sir to share the figures. for the benefit of all.

:D

is the honda city really fuel efficient?

its nearest rival, vios can run for as low as 16km/l for its 1.5l engine on city driving as tested by satisfied owners. 1.3l may reach as low as 20km/l;

the city may never duplicate these figures but is far superior from other features (again never mind the looks)..

[skipper]

whoa. sulit yan ha...20km/L? Is that under actual road and traffic conditions dito sa manila?

[bardigones]

totoo po ba ito?

[Monseratto]

The best mileage my 1.5 mt vios can do is 11 km/l in city driving. And that is driving from Diliman to Binondo and back w/ aircon. Hinde pa umabot ng 6000 km. Pati ako nagulat sa ganyan na figures!

[green lantern]

I have 2001 Civic Lxi, my fuel consumption is 6 kms/liter. Regular checkup ng everything. Pero sobrang traffic papuntang school ng kids ko...3 kms lang it will take you 1/2 hour...ito ba kaya ang dahilan? Thanks.

[pepengtom]

green lantern, pahiram mo sakin lxi mo para matest drive ko, den bigay ko sayo figures na makukuha ko. hehehe

[konde]

kaaakyat ko lang baguio using 99 VTi matic, 9.5km/l

[mackvil]

My boss is selling his 2001 Honda City Type Z Lxi 1.3 A/T to me...

What is the average fuel consumption of this car? I am enjoying around 9-10 km/li in my current 96 Lancer GLXi M/T... Is is worth to change?

Another thing, He is willing to sell to me at 260k.. 200T downpayment.. 60T payable in 6 months? good deal na kaya to?

One drawback in his car is the mileage is 115K km already?

Should I encounter any serious problems with it? But his daily route is long drive.. from Sta. ROsa to Makati through SLEX...

hope you can help me decide!

tnx!

[buknoy2002]

parang ang lakas ng gamit for a 4 yr old car.

cguro try asking, well maintained ba? what oil gamit? what fuel gamit?

am interested din kung ano mileage ng ganyan model

Hi Guys,
Just want to seek for your insights regarding the fuel consumptions / km both for automatic and manual tranny of this car. Also, the performance and durability of the car, is this car reliable? How does it perform compared to Rav4 or Outlander?

Thanks!

[axelangel007]

ive have a crv manual 2003, about 5 to 6 km per ,city driving, medyo matagtag siya compare sa rav4,kasi parang auv setup yung crv ,pero if you change the shock absorber lalambot yan, sa performance ng manual ko parang mabagal ang speed niya compare sa older version ng crv(have 1 before)other says mabagal ang pickup ,sagad na ang gasolinador lalo na automatic,max speed 160 ,durability ng car, ok naman wala pa naman major problem na encounter, yun lang aircon need to clean 2x yearly,nagpalit na ako ng evaporator kasi need to clean dapat yearly para walang problem,brakes performance abs ok (kahit baha), maintainance change oil ko every 10,000 km ,
3yrs of using and still going (my area is in KAMANAVA ,flood prone area)

I've got a '03 4x2 CRV (A/T).

Fuel efficiency (95 RON) - 6.0 km/L (city), 9.3 km/L (hwy).

The ride of this 10-seater model is on the jittery (matagtag) side. Upgrading the rear coil springs with that of the 5-seater model should make things more comfortable. Upgrading the tires with better quality ones (Michelin Synchrone) will also help improve the drive and ride.

Build quality is very good (better than the Japan-assembled RAV4).

Reliable. Roomy. Zippy.
