My car is 2 years old already. hehehe I always follow PMS every 3 months. Yung air intake ko, pinalitan ko nang aftermarket airfilter and customized air pipe. It was ok at first because it really gives extra muscle sa engine especially climbing uphill plus it sounds cool if you rev the engine above 2000 rpm. The downside was that it consumes more fuel, it voids warranty claims, and maintaining it is a headache cuz inorder the have optimum performance you have to clean all the dirt that is filtered on it. Yung binalik ko sa factory setting, my mileage improves alot. Although I never go beyond the 430km mark that I achieved before hehehe. Traffic is another factor, and the time you fill the tank which is an advantage when you fill up at night, load you carry around including passengers, tire pressure, our weather in the Philippines which is a lot hotter than European countries(The colder the air, the denser the oxygen which is effective in fuel burning), Engine Health, braking habits, and driving habits are other factors that affect the mileage of our car.
For us picanto owners in the Philippines, it is wise to follow the PMS every 3 months to keep our engine healthy. A healthy engine guzzles lesser fuel, thus helps the environment and our budget in fuel as well.
