Hi,

Two months, 2502kms - the journey has been quite smooth so far. Running it a little more instead of its friend, my Marina, to see the mileage it will give under different drivers and under different driving conditions.

The roads it covers are mainly the NH47 between Alleppey and Ernakulam and the Alleppey - Changanacherry roads. I go to Changanacherry on the latter road. Since my daughter studies in a school at Champakulam, school trips are also on this road.

The last tank full gave 15.15kpl over 182kms, 62kms by my driver (for the school trips) and the rest by me (a trip to the Nokia care centre near Medical Trust Hospital).

AC on 100% and auto, I am happy with the mileage.

The only grouse is in most cars that I have used, by this mileage, I am fairly sure about what my tank will take to fill in relation to the guage reading. But the City guage has foxed me. The 10th anniversary guage has 11 small marking between E and half and another 11 markings between half and F. The tank took 12.01 litres to the brim when the needle was between 4th and fifth marking from F after 182kms. Eventually, I hope to get used to the metre reading / fuel filled in relationship.
