Default Hi BHPians

I stumbled across this site while researching what car I should buy. And gotta admit that this site is cool and you guys rock. I was pretty impressed by all the auto gyan that you guys got to share. And thanks for all the tips which made me decide on which car to buy.

Well, my username says it all, right ? Yes, the Baleno.
It is 8 months since I got the black Baleno Lxi home and I am happy with it.
FE is like 12kmpl in Chennai traffic and 16kmpl on highways (both with a/c on).
The highway FE would have been better if I had stuck to driving below 100kmph. But it was my first blast on the highway (Chennai to Coimbatore) and I could not resist the urge to let the baby go. Did a max of 140kmph on the stretch between Chennai - Tindivanam which is a new, good highway.

Looking forward to getting more useful info from this site.
