Hi guys, thanks for the input on as long as acceleration is gentle (not lugging) that definitely helped as thats what I do.

And to those who ask about mileage, the local version of our car comes in kph and L/100km in the indicator (not mpg). translated to KM/Liter, I get about 5.6-6.2.
Similar to our yaris and even our 1998 land cruiser lol!

I dont think you guys have the same understanding of traffic as we do in the Philippines. Check out "Philippine traffic" on youtube. We dont stop and go. We just pretty much STOP 90% of the time and crawl to a go. There is no GO. theres just stop and crawl.
