October 16th, 2011 01:00 PM #573Hi Tsikot!
I've bought a 2nd hand Honda civic 2004 VTI 1.6 AT. I've been using it for a month now and my fuel consumption ranges from 8-10km/L. I rarely go further than the whole stretch of commonwealth sometime Q.ave, ortigas, mandaluyong.
My driving style - I'm a new driver so 60kph already feels very fast for me, I'm rarely on 70/80kph. I'm also very gas conscious so I try not to step on the gas if I don't need to. I've hit the 10km/L mark because I step on the gas for 1% and it accelerates VERY VERY slowly to the point all the other cars overtake me - this way though I was able to hit the 10km/L mark. the rest of my fuel readings are at 8km/L sometimes lower
I was wondering how does this fuel consumption stand with other cars of the same model. The owner says that he was able to make 13-14km/L (I dunno if it true though)
If this is too low what are the parts that I would need to have check to see if they are what's causing the fuel consumption to be low
thanks tsikot!

November 4th, 2011 11:05 AM #576I got my Honda CRV 2011 2.0 A/T just recently. I'm averaging 7.5 km/liter. Is this normal? Will it help if I go to SLEX and ride up to a speed of 120 kph for my fuel economy to improve?

November 4th, 2011 01:52 PM #577For city driving this should be normal. (or if you spend more time in traffic than in the highway- ie. 70% city driving and 30% in highway)
I have a CRV 2011 2.0 MT. Highest mileage I got was 15.1km/ li for "pure" highway driving(normal load with aircon). My average daily commute of 80% highway and 20% city driving gives me 10-11 km/li.

November 5th, 2011 11:17 AM #579I got a 2nd hand CRV 05 April 2011
4x2 A/T 2.0 April 2011
ODO 44k
FC city drive 6.2 - 7.1 a/c on fuel etra, xcs, gold
FC pure highway nlex, sctx 10.9 ave speed 90-100 fuel XCS & V-power
top speed 140, downhill the A/T downshift to 3rd?, it seems this under power engine does'nt have the torque.... disappointed..., well thats what i can afford. Maybe if I remove the Catalytic converter would some how increase power and get a better FC.

November 5th, 2011 12:28 PM #580Fellow tsikoters and GEN 2 CRV drivers/owners,
Kamusta sa lahat. I drive a standard shift 2wd CRV. I always try ways to have better fuel efficiency on my ride.Regular maintenance and even sa pagtanggal sa 3rd row seat kung hindi naman namin ginagamit.hehehe. Anyway,
I read this article , Driving Tips to Save Gas - Save Gas This Summer - Popular Mechanics
, a few months before.
One item suggested this
"Tactic No. 2: Avoid Slowly Crawling Up to Speed
Conventional wisdom says that jackrabbit starts consume more fuel. But it turns out that nursing your speed up to the limit too slowly also lowers mpg. How can that be? Cars get poorer fuel economy in lower gears, and accelerating too slowly prevents upshifting at an efficient rate. The best acceleration rate varies with the vehicle, gear ratios and weight. But in our testing we found that taking 15 seconds to accelerate to 50 mph used less fuel than taking 30 seconds to reach the same speed, because the car entered its top, fuel-saving gear sooner.

It made me think whether this applies also to standard shift vehicles or only to automatic transmission.
Alalay ako mag accelerate , as needed basis lang ang sudden acceleration for me. Nalito tuloy ako
kung mas nakakatipid ba ako sa driving habits ko o dapat ibahin ko.
Your input are appreciated.

Could also be due to the high demand that the manufacturer prioritized new car deliveries vs. spare...
