brother i live in Karachi and mostly my drive is of inner city and in traffics. at the time i filled in i paid +- 3,700 PKR to the person and i didn't check how many litres :$ next time i will.. definitely
i don't drive very rough and no hard braking. i drive slow and on low rpms and here you don't get chance to speed up and in my opinion speed kills so i drive slow.
also i filled the tank on the 7th of this month and the yellow light came on the 15th of this month.. so its almost 15 days. my running is not too much..

and i have changed the air filter today.. i went to my mechanic i told him this is the issue he check the air filter and it was :-#:-# clogged like anything. so changed it.. and got the one for 250rupees lol.. i dont know how good will it be and how long will it last.. lol

If you drive in inner city than I would say you are lucky you are getting good mileage. I have been to karachi and actually belong to karachi, karachi traffic is just too much one can get stuck for hours in traffic. As far as filter is concerned i dont think changing it would change the mileage on petrol because the car has maf sensor that senses the airflow and controls the fuel supply accordingly the only difference you will feel is that the cars pick would increase.

hello brothers.

i have again filled the petrol tank but this time what i have done is that i have filled it from Caltex. Last time i filled it from PSO.
the difference i noticed was that the petrol from PSO caused knocking when the gear was brought to 'D' and when i pressed the accelerator a little knocking again however not after the petrol from Caltex the knocking has gone and i feel power of the engine and Alhamdullilah no knocking. for the record i took the picture and the petrol was filled up to the neck. lets see if we get better mileage now at least i need 480km now

[f00704993]

cng who cares,,,,378km on petrol and still fuel tank less than 1/4 consumed. City iDsi rocks....the mileage i covered includes 2 days of driving inside rwp like banni mohallah and gulraiz where there is no concept of 2nd or 3rd gear.......honda claimed 26.2 kmpl average for this model and i guess they were not too much wrong.... Let the tank empty and will post exact avg in kmpl....

[f00704993]

I am a big and die hard fan of honda city I-DSI model. Firstly, i had the pleasure of keep Honda City 2005 and now i have the Honda City 2008. This is the most fuel efficient car in its 1300cc class and even more economical than 1000cc rival cars if maintained properly. But, avoid CNG installation as the advancer installed by the CNG mechanics for enhancing the timing, actually malfunctions the car on the petrol and even if u drive on petrol, the average and pick of the car goes weird .... so, why install cng if this car is giving u more than 20kmpl. Beleive me, it is more than possible, i have experienced it myself...........................

My ride has the following optimum settings:
Tyre Size: BRIDGESTONE TURANZA 185/65/14

4. Front Wheels Discs (Tawa) + Disc Pads (Genuine)
5. Rear Wheels Brake Pads
6. NGK Genuine Spark Plugs * 8
7. Most important and jackpot, use TOTAL Hi-Super petrol, previously i tried SHELL and CALTEX and PSO but TOTAL is the best and leave the rest......................

here come the pictures.....

yaar i kinda liked the blackish color paint that guy did on his panels. it was shining twice as much as mine does and it also matches with ur a/c control knob rings etc... but make sure u ll like it before going for it
and yar that compound cannot be used on headlights, it wud put scratches on the plastic!!

hhahah... AAMIR shot agreed!!! yar the DIYs shud really have seperate threads and we can put the link in the main post of the thread as i ve done already with 3 of them.

man that dynamite thing is expensive, that guy was selling 2 pieces for 3000rs, which wud cover just 2 doors. complete car covered wud cost around 15,000kms.

hahaha... u against russia good

okay guys, im gonna leave for a few days now. have to attend my first cousin's wedding in gujranwala. wud be leaving in a few hours and will report back on sunday night, may be monday morning... so, for now, ALLAH HAFIZ to everyone.... keep posting

bro, sorry for the late reply... PW site was loading real slow.

Hmm, well, I have started the bit of research for repainting those panels. Searching for a good metallic grey colour, clear coat and compound.

Hopefully, I'll do it in a day or two,inshAllah.

hmmm, well, then u've been getting ur lights buffed recently. do u know what compound is used to buff the lenses of the lights??

Gonna contact V1 as well. he'll surely now abt these things.

as for dynamat, NO!.. it'll cost around 22k for a whole honda city. i mean, trunk, firewall and 4 doors....

a cultus cost 17k. city is gonna be definitely more. with the recent price hikes accounted for... :)

But, i m gonna try using some foam underlay first... actually, the door seals of my car have weakened a bit... gonnna get those new as well...

[fawadakbarkhan]

I am not tagging any posts here as it would make my reply a marathon one. Now coming to the topic.

Well to me this 442 km achieved in a tank is good. A city has 42l tank I have the manual and it says so. I dont know when the reserve shows but I think its about 7-8l. Which means 442 in 35l i.e 12.5 per litre. Now the thing is that he was not using his car and if that period is more than 2 weeks, than let me tell you all that petrol has shelf life of 3 weeks after which its hydrocarbons evaporate and a lacquer sort of liquid is left behind, as the hydrocarbons are lesser so the car will consume more fuel so if a person gets a tank filled and uses it through out the month he wont get the same average as a person emptying a tank in 3-4 days. Also some petrol evaporates through the overflow valve so thats why low figures.

As far as aamir bhai is concerned well he lives in bahria town and its like 10 kms away from thokar and thats almost a highway ride you can literally cruise even I can get 22km per kg these days when I go there. So imagine if his daily run his 50km than 20km he is doing from bahria to thokar which is equivalent to highway so 40% of his driving his like highway thats why he is getting 500+ in a tank fill. These days there are many categories of city drive. There is drive of defence and societies that is called city drive but is light on pocket and than there is drive of areas like montgomery, urdu bazaar and bilal gunj that is immensely heavy on pocket. Although both are city drives but not alike. So one has to compare like with like. I think I have made my point clear

Also rollon the CNG in lahore and Karachi had lesser hydrocarbons so you get less mileage but in mianwali the hydrocarbons are good so one can automatically get good figures. Just for a test come here and consume a cylinder in city with lahore cng and you will know yourself

The man with vario who got his tank filled. In which area do you live and after how many days you got tank filled and how many litres went in please reply

hmmm, bro, yer rite... but as for the steermatic, it was jaggi's not aamir bhai's.

aamir bhai's red steer can perform real good if driven regularly. but his car is not a daily runner. he got 501km in one tank though.

and bro, by the intercity drive, one means "stop n go" drive. well, or bro mentioned that he drives slow, even on long routes. that should account for better mileage.

Long story short, all depends upon driving habits but a vario should be giving more than 12kpl yaar. at least 15.

as for CNG, mianwali has the dirtiest CNG in punjab. One mishandle, and the car goes sneezing and coughing all the way to the empty tank. A lot of knocking, misfiring is there...

I can say that its not a problem of my car when a 2012 corolla Ecotec does the same but the problem vanishes if one changes the CNG station...

ahh.. good job.. I had insights u'ld be having a clogged filter. lets see what mileage u get now...

bro, a clogged filter does account for low mileage, both on CNG and petrol. I have experienced my self. Pick up increases alot.

hello brothers.

i have again filled the petrol tank but this time what i have done is that i have filled it from Caltex. Last time i filled it from PSO.

Great.. but as another bro has mentioned, try using TOTAL as well...

@Mama is always rite

Steeramtic is all about RPM as it wont have conventional gear box , I never took good average at M2 as there I drove for fun & some time give surprise to rolla's & exi & pros Vti's;)

501 in one tank was done 100% inter city with AC but with lite foot on the paddle , RPM below 3K

[accord7362]

@f00007076534267 Mashalllaha beautiful ride

Dil kush hooaa dekh karrrr ,

yaaar, thats insane !!!! if ur gauge is telling the truth that u've really consumed 12 liters, man u got above 30KPL... but that can't be true.

Let the tank empty and then we'l calculate... MashAllah I saw ur city, we share the same colour code, a very clean car... Drive safe. welcome to PW and the fan club....

Question

How would my City Exis 2002 handle 15/65/195s??? Currently i have 14/65/175. Getting 15s Bridgestone Turenzas that my bro installed just six month ago in his company car which he is returning next week.

not sure if we can fit 15s in our model, have you seen one fitted with 15s ?

[fahadwizz]

The guys in Thailand & Malaysia do it. These cars came with 14s as factory in many countries so mostly its the first upgrade there. But since these are pretty decent profile and width (195/65) i m just concerned about body touching the tyres underload. There should be no problems fitting low profile 15s.

low profile, thats exactly what i had in my mind, i have 14s on my car, and the gap between the tyre and lower plate of coil springs is minimal, therez isnt any chance in my opinion that normal profile tyres will slide in, low profiles can go i remember i use to see one city near olive garden in islamabad with low profiles gotta be over 14 inches for sure and it looks good too, even seen same with bent rim though anyways do check the gap i mentioned with currently installed profile and judge if bigger size will slide into it or not and let us know too

Hey guyz..I want city owners lil help.My city 07 auto transmission is giving almost 2 seconds delay to hold the pick of the car after pressing the accelerator.

Engine oil : Zic-XQ
Spark plugs: denso iridium

Is this a normal behavior of my car?

[Ally]

1 more question.I want to change the rims of my city 07.Which is the most good looking and light weight rim for my car which will not effect the mileage,but if it improves then i dont mind.Anyone who can suggest me the best tire shop in isb/rwp which is also reasonable in price and the best tire also.Currently i am using dunlop eco but it has a very bad road grip.

Check the transmission oil
and get the throttle body cleaned this also happened in my car the accelerator used to get stuck so t get resolved after getting the throttle cleaned
