I live in Las Pinas City and work in Makati and travel with my M/T Picanto on a daily basis (that's a 46 km round trip). Traffic is usually quite bad, and I make no attempts to be frugal with my driving habits (i.e., aircon always on, accelerate the engine to 4,000 rpm+ whenever the need arises). I've logged about 3,400 km on my odometer; my average fuel consumption in city driving is about 12.2 km/L.

The situation is very different however when cruising at highway speeds. Last week I measured my fuel consumption from Alabang -> Tagaytay -> Alabang, with aircon on, 3 passengers and at normal highway speeds (encountering minimal traffic). Wow. 20 km/L! Spent less than P150.00 for the round trip.
