Hello Istoryans,
I'd like to open this thread to all of you who are driving a Toyota Avanza 2013 13L Automatic Transmission.
Let's discuss our gas consumption here.
I am under the impression that since this is a 13Liter engine though Automatic it should have better mileage as advertised by Toyota.
16km/Liter (
2013 Brand New TOYOTA AVANZA 1.3 & 1.5 VVT-i | TOYOTAnewcars)
Unfortunately, my Avanza is only running 6km/Liter using Shell Unleaded.
My Avanza is a 13L Automatic Transmission (E Model) all stock, nothing has been added nor replaced from what it originally is when it came out from the factory.
The 6km/Liter gas consumption is based on just me riding the car alone for 1 week. I filled up the gas tank in the shell station near our house and use the same gas station refueling.
Here's how I computed my 6km/liter.
(Test A) During my full tank with
single click, I set Trip A in the dashboard to 0.0.
Drove as I regularly do for 5 days from Home to Office route alone.
My route is Banawa, Escario, Ayala access road to F. Cabahug and back.
That's 16 km round trip, which is 80 km total for 5 days.
I had it refueled, (2nd) full tank with single click on the same gas pump and loaded about 13.3 liters.
So the computation for Mileage (KM/L) = Trip A (80km) / 2nd Full tank Liters (13.3 Liters)
Mileage (KM/L) = 6.01
(Test B)
I had a full tank but this time I made sure that I see the gas level almost overflowing from the tank.
Set Trip A to 0.0.
Traveled the same route the following week which has the same distance of 80KM for 5 days.
Refueled using the same pump using the same mata-mata method where is I can see the gas level almost overflowing from the tank. Loaded 13.2 liters.
Applying the same formula, Mileage (KM/L) = 80KM / 13.2 Liters
Mileage (KM/L) = 6.06
I hope you can share to me your consumption based on the computation/formula I shared above.
I'd appreciate it so much and Thank you very much in advance.
