4. Total Premier: 8.33 km/L

Overall Average: 8.35 km/L

That's with at least 500 km per fuel brand so it's pretty consistent.

I also find that it's not the pump but the kind of traffic that makes for inaccurate MID readings. I fill up with the same stations but some are readings are off by about 0.5-1 km/L while others are pretty spot on.

Regarding that, yes, I understand. But that 0.5-1km/l off from computer vs manual is quite a margin.
I'm okay with a 6% to 8% discrepancy with the manual vs computer readout. Which is why the 92% to 96% accuracy is acceptable to me. But if there is an additional 5% on top of that (meaning a 12% discrepancy, that's a big figure to be losing out on which is more to do with the station having inaccurate pumps rather than the traffic situation I feel.
Say for example the 8km/l readout is manually checked to actually be 7.5 (93.75%)or 7.0km/l (87.5%). If I get the 93.75% I am okay, but when it is 1km/l off readout, I suspect it is more to do with the inaccurate volume readout of the pump causing the bulk of the discrepancy.

If you notice my method of recording, I also include the average speed throughout the whole top up to check so that I get somewhat of a baseline. Since driving style doesn't really change much with me behind the wheel. =)

Hope that clears it up as I do think there was somewhat of a consistency of ranges especially after the "break-in" period. hehe!

That's what I said. On some fillups I have low discrepancies (less than 5%). On other fillups in the SAME PUMP, I get big discrepancies of up to 1 km/L.

Was simply clarifying that I always get an accuracy range between 92% to 95% as a "norm". If I get readings lower than 90%, I assume already its as not a result of variance. Re experience with same pump, so far there is consistency if I go to same pump (so far only).

thank you sir. siguro sa 1k check ko na pa tignan tolerable naman. reiterate ko lang na ibang klase ang comfort ng sylphy panalo talaga, can sit 5 adult passengers comfortably. worth every penny walang pagsisisi so far. napagkamalan pang Camry :D

added question lang po. talaga po bang hindi nag a-automatic lock yung doors natin? yung isang sasakyan kasi namin earlier model, pag apak mo sa brake nag a-automatic door lock. tia

Yes sir sulit po talaga itong Sylphy. Like mine napagkamalan din pong camry at first glance. May speed sensing door locks yan sir. Just read the manual para ma activate nyo po yun. Enjoy and drive safe po sir!

ok sir thank you. nabasa ko na po, try ko tomorrow. clarification sir regarding sa speed sensing kailangan ko muna maghintay ng around 20 secs. before pressing and holding the lock button for 5 secs ? sana dumami pa tayong naka sylphy

another added question po. kasya po ba sa atin ang 18x7.5 na wheels? salamat salamat po.

Bad news Sir SkyFlakes88. My wife decided that it was her turn to get a car and promptly got a Mz3. Well perhaps next year when I have enough budget. Thanks for the assist.

No problem sir! Enjoy your new ride! Mz3 is also a good buy just a little cramp though[emoji4]
