1- I am getting 11-11.5 KM/Litre in Bangalore city (haven't tried the highway yet). Is this a good mileage? |
The worst I get with AC and pedal to metal drive is 13

2- I am using shell/bp normal unleaded petrol. Do you think I should switch to Shell Super Unleaded for the compression ration the Santro has, 8.9:1? Is it advised? Would it improve performance/mileage?

from my experience petrol with additives makes engine smoother

4- I keep adjusting the temperature control depending on the heat outside. Would keeping the temperature control at the coolest point consume more fuel than keeping it at mid-point?
|
it only mixes outside air. keep fan speed to the lowest.

5- Do car A/Cs have an air filter similar to home A/Cs? If yes, how can it be cleaned in a Santro?
|
cleaning ac filter/system cant be done at home. They would charge you 1500 or so which includes refilling the gas after cleaning the entire unit

6- What is an A/C neutrilizer?
