Hi,
I have a 2002 model Wagon R Lxi. Till very recently I used to use only Speed 93 in the car... and managed to get 14.5 kmpl constant in the city (Delhi) with the AC on (all summer). But for the past 2 months, I've shifted to Speed 97 (It's a tad expensive, but worth it!). Now, that its getting cold around here I don't use the AC that much. The car gives about 16.3 (tankful to tankful calc) in the city. But the best part is the very smooth power delivery. It pulls away cleanly without knocking, and less downshifting needed.
I did a recent day trip to Jaipur (on a full tank of 97)... a round trip of 540 km. With intermittent use of the AC & some crowded city streets (around the Hawa Mahal)... as well as a constant 100 kph on the highway... the car averaged 18.6 kmpl (tankful to tankful). I kept a bottle of STP Octane booster handy (Speed 97 is not available in Jaipur), but didn't have to risk filling there... as the car got me there & back on a single tank.
Cheers,
Roshun
p.s: The car also has a fucon fuel energizer device fitted (apparently keeps carbon deposits down).
