when your car has some sort of EFI related problem or misfire , never replace your plugs with iridium (if vehicle maker original plugs are copper).

if your engine works fine, copper plugs are better than iridium (need to be cleaned for every 5000 km )

Did you consider the kmpl while accelerating also? Just don't look at the indicator and come to a justification.

If you want to calculate it properly fill up you tank and make the mileage of your odo 0. When you pump fuel next time ( full tank) devide the mileage done with the number of litres pumped.

I only limit my self to pump fuel in the IOC located next to SBC town hall.

Edit: this is the first time I heard such numbers out of an Axio. This is a good news for hybrid seekers as now the Axio will be an better alternative to an overpriced Prius.

We have an Axio G grade (2010) and practically checked the fuel economy twice on long trips and achieved 20 - 21 km/l (physical calculation with two consecutive full tank pumping.) But within city limits 13km/l is normal.

How on earth did you manage to pull that off ? Every car I have ad to use in SL needed an airfilter WAY before 56K and sometimes more than once. I am surprised that the guy who does your service hasn't tried to sell you air filters every time you go for an oil change !

Also, there are a lot of things you should inspect and change before it starts giving problems. Do a search on the forum there should be a few threads on car maintenance.

Some of the air filters sold in SL actually filter nothing. I had a filter replaced by a service station which stayed clean as a whistle, and while I always marked change if necessary at a service, they always told me the filter was fine. After a few years (the car doesn't run much) I threw away that filter (whatever the brand was) and replaced with a VIC (not supplied by the service station this time), and sure enough I started to notice it spoil.

For Toyota OEM air filter is Denso. Try replacing with original or Denso
