Frankly, i dont think there is any modern engine that isn't fuel economical. It all depends on the combination of throttle pressure, engine speed, vehicle speed etc. Your cruising speed is not as important as the way you reach that speed. Shan2nu | |

| ![]() I think FE also depends on the number of people on board, AC and whether driving during day/ night. The following are the figures for Fiat Palio 1.9D 4-Adults and 2 Children 14 Kmpl Hyd to Blr 575 Kms. AC on 75% Single Driver 17.5 Kmpl Hyd to Blr AC on 50% Mostly night driving !! |

![]() Got the air filter cleaned and oil changed (engine and gear). Brake pads, brake oil and radiator coolant, petrol filter etc were replaced before the trip. As Zen Ac is pretty much useless, I didnt use it, instead kept the window open. And for my trip from home I was rather scared to drive it at higher speeds because of the age of the car. So major part of the trip was on 5th gear at speed of 70-90 with two people onboard. | |

Thanked: Once
| ![]() Yes, I too would like to know. I have driven a Santro Xing (2003 model) till 2006. In the later period it gave ~10 km/l. I was any way trying to upgrade, so I sold off the Xing and bought Accent CRDi, stayed with Diesels since then (migrated to Fiesta and now Verna), and I have been getting 18-20 km/l, partly because of the good roads I drive in ![]() |
