Toyota Vios Fuel Consumption Gas 1NZ-FE / 2NZ-FE

With my Toyota Vios 1.5G 2006 A/T 2006 with me for almost 4 years already, here're are my usual computations on Toyota Vios Fuel Consumption

for city driving in Metro Manila, horrible stop and go traffic even on EDSA Toyota Vios' fuel consumption is around 10.5 kilometers per liter, with my relaxed driving style and easy on the gas, stay on my lane.

My recent trip to Bataan via NLEX, SCTEX and the zigzag going to Bagac gave me 14 kms/L.

I wonde how it would be like if i use it on the expressway with constant speed of, say, 80 kms/hr?

I heard stories from other drivers about almost same results for their manual cars but mine's an automatic. Is it due to my driving style or just that the rumor that manual vs automatic in terms of fuel consumption is not that big difference?

Lytro Light Field Camera Prices, Specifications

I signed up for advance notice from Lytro, the maker of the first ever light field camera, months ago. This time, they sent me an invite to be one of the first "photographers" wishing to get their hands on the new cutting-edge camera.

Lytro camera price: $499 for 16GB, $399 for 8GB
Lytro camera lens aperture: f/2

Lytro camera price philippines? probably around P25k :(

But my usual problem is how to ship the camera to the Philippines without getting too much customs charges, I'm willing to pay duties but not outrageous ones earlier charged on a trial shipment to myself.

I imagine how much would the Lytro camera price be in Hidalgo, Quiapo, Manila should it ever find itself there.

Hope to get a lytro camera next year so I can get sample images and pictures using the cute device.

Imagine how it would revolutionize photography that can make Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Kodak and other camera makers take notice :P

LTO No Plate No Travel Policy: New Cars MMDA/Makati

I'm now an owner of shiny new Toyota Innova E 2.g DSL since last week. And since it's new, still has no plate numbers but was able to get home to Quezon City and Makati via San Juan and Mandaluyong, not via EDSA nor C5.

For now, I'm using Toyota Pasong Tamo's delivery receipt valid for 7 days that I need to show to traffic enforces (MMDA or MAPA/MAPSA in makati) or the Land Transportation Office (LTO) or PNP TMG (traffic management group) manning checkpoints.

Note that the seven days validity of conduction sticker is legal only for delivery of your new vehicle from the dealer to your office or residence but due to either laziness of the CASA or the usually slow LTO release of license plates, plate numbers will be released after about 3 to 4 weeks. (conduction sticker can be removed from your car once you have your plate numbers, number coding in makati uses the last digit of your conduction sticker too, i think same in Las Pinas but not sure in Pasig. MMDA tolerates it but also attracts carnappers and carjackers of which QC has lots of)

I've yet to mark the first week of my car's life outside, odometer reading's still around 64 kilometers. I have several post-dated delivery receipts to use after seven days to renew my seven days grace period of "exemption" from the no plate, no travel policy. But i think as long as it's taking a long time, a smart police or traffic enforcer can ask your odometer reading to know if your car's really fresh from the CASA.

I intend to take my Innova to Bolinao, pangasinan next month, I hope to receive my plate number by then so that I don't have to be nervous to pass by NLEX and SCTEX or even SLEX and Startoll.

Violations and fines for new cars without license plates apply plus possible impounding of your new car until you show the LTO registration OR/CR or license plate with stickers.

This No Plate No Travel policy is stupid for the government makes it hard for citizens to use their new cars caused by the inefficiency of the LTO in the quick release of license plates.
