I do not differ with lifewater on the engine performance.

For the Safari:

- Engine is quiter and lesser of the 'krrr' knocking noise, while pickup

- Low end torque seems to have improved, power delivery feels crisper.

- FE values will have to wait till half tank for the calculations.

PS: Perhaps it would have been a good thought to distribute the pill (still 9 left with me) in the bangy team meet for some more genuine feedback from ppl willing to try.

1.) In the tavera, there was a definite lowering of engine clatter / sound and the pickup has improved a lot. Overall the vehicle feels a lot smoother to drive needing less gear change than before (Increase in Torque ??). Mileage too has improved but not much maybe to the tune of 10-15%.

2.) The santro feels like a verna - huge improvement in pickup and smoothness of the engine (MAKHAAN !!!). Feels so smooth to drive. Mileage has improved by around 2-3 Km / lt.
