June 4th, 2013 04:21 PM #1Just got my i10 last week. So far, I've been only getting 7-8 km/l
fc in city driving (mandaluyong-makati). I even turn off the engine when stuck in traffic. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Depende sa traffic na dinadaanan yan ng TS. My Mirage in an extreme traffic also nets 7-8km/l, mostly 9s. 1.2L CVT akin.
Curious lang ako TS, bakit hindi 1.2L AT ang kinuha mo? Negligible naman difference nila (price-wise).

based on experiences of my friends, they only get a an average of 10 kpl, for the same variant as yours. one of them averages around 11 kpl at pure city driving and around 14 kpl at pure highway.
but then there are several factors:
a) driving style. since maliit ang makina, gigil ka sa acceleration to get power, resulting in higher FC.
b) traffic conditions.
in your condition, malamang stop and go traffic ka....
anong oil ang gamit mo? baka mas magimprove pa kung fully synth oil ang gamit mo. tsaka anong fuel din ang gamit mo? sa akin kasi, i get lower fuel economy when i am using the lower octane variants (e.g. unleaded). so that is why i switched to the next octane variant (XCS, etc....)
yung ginagawa mo na patay engine will not work, but will accelerate draining of your battery, imho.Last edited by 1D4LV; June 4th, 2013 at 04:48 PM.

Malakas sya if mild to moderate traffic ka lang. If compared sa Mirage, mild to moderate traffic could easily get it, 11-13km/l. Pero I've been using Shell Nitro Plus, mas matipid ako dun ng 1 km/l as compared when I'm using Petron XCS. Mas mababa pa FC ko pag unleaded lang gamit.

ganyan din ako basti sa getz ko.
if i am using the lowest unleaded variant, my FC is at around 10.5 kpl.
if i am using the next variant, my FC is around 12kpl.
when i changed to fully synthetic, it increased to around 13 kpl.
note rcjvc na matic yan..... mas mataas talaga fc nya compared sa manual.
hinay hinay lang din sa pedal.... ;)Last edited by 1D4LV; June 4th, 2013 at 05:38 PM.
