Mas malayo inaabot ng Trailblazer on a full tank than the Montero and Strada. That's with a heavy foot of mine.

aside from engine design, consumers may not have realized that it is the ecu that determines fuel efficiency. that is where the fuelling calibration data are stored and fortunately for informed buyers, the 2014 TBZ is equipped with one of the latest hardware/software available in the market.

Good day to fellow members! Does anyone know if the TB engine uses a timing belt or timing chain?

Sir Numbah5 just want to ask about the 2014 TB LTZ MyLink kung meron DVD function na ba sya. Sa March 15 we will visit Chevy Commonwealth to see the actual unit might go for black color.

The results were in favor of the TrailB. Fuel gauge needle barely moved from above 1/2 when we arrived at home, Strada's fuel gauge moved from 1/2 to about near halfway between 1/2 and 1/4.

By the way I have replied to your PM to me and sent another one

Wow

You can only do that fuel efficiency comparison using fuel tank level sa mga jeepney na regular shape ang mga fuel tank (box shape) and using graduated stick na sinundot sa tank.

Sa modern cars its terrible way of comparing the efficiency using fuel gauge/level indicator.

Una irregular ang shape ng tank as it has to fit into some limited space under the car.

Float sensor is only good in sensing the change in level not the actual volume.

Volume is area x height. Kung malapad ang tank malaki ang area and lesser height for the same volume.

Sorry but its wrong to compare the volume (consumption) based only sa change of height (level). Need also to know first how fuel level sensor/sender works.

Both have same volume capacity tank.

Fyi, Gas and diesel tank are also subcontracted hence OEM parts rebranded as genuine

Eg. mitsu parts on an evrest (as posted in another thread complete with photo)

Further more the test made only gives you an idea but you don't need to rely on it, take it with a grain of salt since it's not a hundred percent full proof and all of us knows it save you

Enough of this milage topic I'm sensing a pattern of narrow mindedness

Google has a lot more to share for broad minded people like you sir if you could just give him correct set of keywords.

Like these (with quotations) heheh
