Hi Hasopi,

If your Palio is the older version, then there is that problem of "odo not callibrated for the higher profile tires used in India". Dont ask me what that means, but the end result was that the odo showed around 5% less. That also was one of the causes for Palio's low mileage according to ACI. It seems that manufacturers are allowed the liberty of about +/-5% in their ratings and most of the manufacturers make it around +5% to "boost mileage". Palio NV seems to have corrected that issue.

Cheers,
