Regarding FC's for 2013 4D56 Non-VGT's, medyo alarmed ako dahil sa mga previous posts na sobrang baba ang FC, (i.e ~6-7km/l, w/ an average weight/load).. One says, A/T, another one says M/T.. and it seems i was able to establish a pattern for them, "pure city driving".. so, i am SUSPECTING, could this be a case of "insufficient break-in" (pardon my term, pls correct me if merong proper technical term for this

) , like for the first 1k kms, vehicle might have only run purely on stop-and-go city driving pace..

Since my route is Bacoor-Taguig, my daily drive consists of hiway routes in random order (Coastal express, Cavitex, Skyway, SLEX) , and during my first 1k kms, i see to it that i run it at 100kph and sometimes 120kph+ , and tone down after the express way ends.. So, in short, for the whole duration of fist 1k kms, I was able to VARY my engine speed/load,, which I really consider as a good/balanced break-in approach resulting to a good FC today... Even pure EDSA traffic on Friday evening Baclaran to SM North - to Quiapo - Lawton - Roxas Blvd , im still able to average ~9.5 km/L.

Thanks. My tire pressure is 32 front and back. Eto kasi nakalagay from casa but I don't think I can increase the pressure anymore. Malubak kasi daan sa may amin.
