What is your Actual Fuel Efficiency?

m_upreti · 16th February 2009, 13:53

My Scorpio Vlx gives 11.5, I drive on part Highway / part City on a daily basis.

I do the calculations from 2nd low fuel warning to next 2nd low fuel warning after refill.

Maruti 800 - Around 17kmpl in city, 22 long distance, both without AC
Esteem - Around 12.5kmpl in city, 15 long distance, both without AC
Omni - Around 14kmpl in city, 18 to 20 long distance
RX100 - Around 40kmpl in city, 48kmpl long distance, single riding
Kine - Around 30kmpl in city

Long distance speeds maintained are around 80-90kmph for the 800, 80-100kmph for the Esteem, 70-90kmph for the Omni and 60-75kmph for the RX

Hi, My Maruti Esteem carb, gives not less than 12kmpl in town while atleast 14kmpl for highway, again without aircon. As for long distance car for my parents, Chevrolet Optra, its a luxury car, so i won't care the mileage unless it drops below 9-10kmpl in aircon regardless of town or highway. That's my 2cents!!

Anyone with ANHC FE Figures, i'm to decide to getting one this week.FE Info could be quite helpful.

tortoiseNhare · 17th February 2009, 09:17

I am getting 20 to 22 kmpl with about 60% highway running. I reset trip meter at every warning of low fuel and FE calculation is made on that basis. I use normal diesel and the only time I had filled up HP Turbojet I got less than average FE.

madhukar_n · 17th February 2009, 11:33

2005 Baleno give me about 14 in the city and about 15-16 on highways.
2002 zen gives me about 17 in city and about 19 on highways.
mostly use shell unleaded or Indianoil unleaded !

I think the city figures for both are exaggerated by about 2 kms/ltr for both the cars

well thats what i am getting, believe it or not !!!

i have never got less than 12, the worst was 13 when travelling from yelahanka to bannerghatta road. and i check it almost everytime i fill up the tank. now i consistantly get about 14

zen, mostly my dad uses it and never goes beyond 50, the mileage is near to what i have quoted.

Swaroop77 · 20th February 2009, 21:06

Simple question, can over inflating the tyres induce any odo error? I think if you overinflate the tyres, you increase the circumference of the tyres, hence you travel more distance with less number of rotations ( and hence some odo error). Not sure if that can lead to an error in full to empty way of calculating FE.
