8.3L/100KM (12km/L) hataw mode. 140kph sa nlex, 160 kph sa sctex (may misis kasi nakasakay sa likod, speed limiter!), 100-140kph sa magilas, 100-120kph sa macarthur when traffic permits, pag matraffic e ano pa ba as fast as the tricycle will go. 3 adults and 4 kids plus 2 kaing na mangga on the way back.

dami nahuli sa SCTEX pag labas namin sa tarlac. hehe, di nila nakita yung may radar gun sa concepcion. malayo pa lang nakita ko na yung pickup sa flyover na kunwari sira nakataas yung hood, pero dun sa passenger side may guy na may radar gun.

tipid pa din kahit may hataw ah...ser na compare mo ba Manual calculation vs. Car FC display kung gaano diff? BTW akala ko ser 5seater din sa 'yo. mukhang 7seats pala....

na-compare ko na FC sa manual method, di naman nagkakalayo pag long drive. ang malaki ang difference pag city diving kasi syempre average FC, e zero siya pag naka-stop e umaaandar naman ang engine. saka pag traffic taas ng FC nasa 15-20L/100km tapos pag libre na traffic biglang baba ng 5-8L/100km so yung lalabas na average e malayo sa actual.

5 seater lang sir. ako saka 2 kids sa harap, si misis, yaya and 2 kids sa likod. reklamo sila hahaha, lalo na inflate ko tyre pressure to 38 psi front/40 psi rear e di matagtag. di na daw sila sasama next time na sorento ang gamitin ko for long drive. reklamo ni misis e leg room sa likod, sanay kasi sa starex.

napansin ko din nga yun pag idling....zero reading nya even while engine is running. pero if really that's how Kia calculates consumption by not considering idling time then that's flawed...pero sa tingin ko kasama sya....

wow taas nang tire pressure nyo ser, ako nga 35psi going to the province eh natatalbugan na 'ko....so binalik ko na lang talaga sya sa 33psi....well firm pa din ang ride....

tinaasan ko tyre pressure kasi see ko kung titipid, same din naman, binalik ko na sa 34psi last week.

Just to update my Fuel Consumption.
2013 Sorento LX. ODO * 2600km.
So its not fully broken in.
*starting pt.departed 4am: Unioil Mindanao ave to load fuel and RESET Tripmeter B.
*Destination : Banaue Ifugao rice terraces.
* End. Pt (daytime driving: Unioil Buendia. Arrvd 11PM.
* Driving condition: slow provincial roads and i do overtake most of the time. Meaning hataw mode.
* Distance : 677km (yeah in 1tank of diesel).
* FC by trip computer : 7.5li/100km or 13.8kpl.

This is the strange part.... after dividing TripMeter-B distance w/ 57li loaded up at Buendia... it results in 11.8kpl (677km/57li)....

so why such a big descrepancy?
Anyway even with the lower figure i think its still pretty good for an SUV!.

City driving is arnd 7-8km /l. Pure hiway is arnd 12-13km/l. So a mixed city and hiway should be aroubd 10-11km/l

ang pinaka accurate ko na computer reading is on my ford focus diesel. as-in sakto lagi sa manual computation.

just want to share with all the benefits and demerits of upsizing wheel/tire combo...
almost scientific evaluation method done by CarandDriver excellent read and this should
apply to all brand/makes....
