Nissan Fuel Consumption Database

2000 Nissan Sentra Exalta STA A/T:
- Pure City Driving (Araneta Ave to Makati and VV- via Ortigas-EDSA): 7.5 Kms per liter (defensive driving)
- Pure Hiway driving. Once clocked Manila-Lipa-Manila: 19 Kms per liter. This was a 190 kms drive.
Fuel used is always Petron Blaze.

Whoa! That's a very high mileage especially for an old car. Even higher than diesel.

Peterstarr, kindly share details about this one. Would like to know how a 11-12 year old car can reach such mileage.

wow! 7.5kms per litter. I'll check mine mukhang di fuel efficient yung sakin.

Sir Sachiel: Ako nga rin nagulat nung nag register sya ng 19Kms per liter on that lone trip to Batangas. This is only the 3rd time na mag-out-of Metro Manila yung auto. And I am very conscious of FC, because my other car is a Cefiro. Kaya I took the chance of getting the hi-way FC, gased up before and after the trip at EDSA.

Sir The Fort: I am usually light-footed when it comes to driving. My route is traffic-laiden, kaya very conscious ako sa tapak sa gas. Syempre, it comes with following the proper PM Schedule in changing your engine oil, etc.

Sir Iamjcesteban: Yeah, have it checked. I am sure with proper care and correct driving habits, you can get your car's FC better.

What's the base idle of your car sir? Nakakainggit ang FC mo sir! First car ko kasi to so I don't know where to start para maging maganda ang FC. Any tips kung ano ang mga dapat pacheck?

Sir iamjcesteban: I don't wanna sound too guru-istic, cause am not one. But, I can share what I did with my car. I got it second hand. I had all the fluids changed (engine oil, transmission oil, brake fluid, etc.), replaced all spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter and tune up (just like what you do on your first 80K kms check. I also check my tires weekly, making sure that they are well inflated (i like mine at 31 psi, it's not too soft and its stiffness is tolerable). Then, everything is else is about driving on "scrooge mode". I seldom past the 2,500 rpm mark (dahil na rin sa sobrang traffic sa EDSA) and also maximizing the assistance given by our friend gravity on downhills. Hope these help you improve your sentra's FC.

Thanks for the advice sir! Gagawin ko yang mga advice niyo. Regarding the break fluid, pina-flush niyo din ba? Planning to have tune up next month after ko mapagawa yung leak sa PS ko.

Yes sir. Pina-flush ko lahat ng fluid nung binili as 2nd hand car yung sentra. This was 2 years ago.
