what is the gas ratio of vios? anybody knows?

unsa nga car pina ka efficient ug gas? vios? city? getz?.... any other gas efficient car?

johnbond007 and guys,
kanang aso nga giingon ni johnbond007 nga mogawas sa filler cap, I think if it's what I'm thinking, it could be kanang gitawag ug "blow by" gases....normal na siya if karaan na imo makina.. pero if grabe na sad, di na sad na maayo....and usually kaning mga blow-by gases ibalik ra na siya sa combustion chamber sa imo sakyanan through a PCV valve.. can't explain it in details here...nya OT na sad ta...
this blow by gas can be dangerous sa imo makina in the long run kay it may contain oil and dangerous ang oil nga moabot sa imo combustion chamber.......so this is where the oil-catch can comes in...hehehehe.. I made one myself DIY!!! lain na sad ni nga thread dah...OT na jud ko.. sorry po mods

Just ask TAXI drivers about your idea.... SINCE THEY ARE THE ONE TAKING THE BRUNT of the price increase.....

yes you can shift below 2,000 rpm...

to that newbie eagath.... go play with your matchbox....

so far I haven't heard the correct logic from this Aztina888...... so to help this GUY(since I haven't seen any of his post)... ITS THE GEAR RATIO of the TRANSMISSION that will tell you when to make the most EFFICIENT shift.....


Keeping on insisting that low rpms will make you step on the GAS.... YOU are referring to below 800rpm where the engine would die..... if you shift from first to 5th gear THE ENGINE would CERTAINLY STRUGGLE and die.... but 1st gear to 2nd gear.... its the GEAR RATIO....

About the A/C thing.... the car even at 800rpm has power already... look at the CHARTS for HP and TORQUE relative to RPM.... the alternator converts mechanical power to electrical power for the A/C... the alternator takes some of that HP from the engine... but not all of it... AS YOU WOULD LIKE everyone here to believe... STRESS? if it were stress... TOYOTA, BMW, AUDI shouldn't have put A/C in the first place...

TOINKZ ok Master Whatever you say. wahahahaha

If it's driving styles we're talking about, only sure way to get the best mileage out of your current car and setup is to install a vacuum guage and drive around (accelerating, shifting) at the highest vaucum value possible. Or in layman's term, LAY OFF the gas and pretend you are stepping on an egg that will crack if you push it down too hard.

Trust me, this makes a lot of difference and it's NOT the same thing for every car. Depende gyud how you drive. Cause I normally get 1:7km on a 2.0liter turbo car, but if I apply the same driving style to a 1.3l NA car (which normally gets 1:10km) I only get about a 1:5km ratio.

Just make sure you also pay attention to the road while doing this hehehe

by the way, I remember johnbond007 asking about a way to test an engines compression, you can have that done at any shop with a compression tester bro. Mura ra na cyag tire guage nga i butang sa taoranan sa spark plug then you would crank the engine using the starter (but not start it) to get a compression reading. I had my test done at automekanika before I bought my engine to make sure dili guba mga piston rings.

The bottomline is.... The engine was designed to take a load.... you keep insisting on stress... then remove the A/C in your car.... or get an engine of a FORD model T...
