|  70% highway driving AC on 70% of the times. Getting average of 16.5 with shell petrol and 14.5 with HP. May be the HP petrol pump in Hinjewadi, Pune is tinkering with the fuel quantiy/quality. |

| Hi I have recently picked up a used Ford Endeavour Oct 2004 model in Chennai. Post purchase I have serviced the vehicle completely - oil / filter changes ++ servicing. I am getting a fuel efficiency of 7kmpl in city conditions, how do i improve the fuel efficiency to 9+kmpl in city conditions. Also, on a different note, the ride quality in the 2nd & 3rd rows of endeavour is very bad, what improvements can be made in the suspension system to improve the ride quality? Suggestions / user experiences will be much appreciated. regards KRISHNAN PS |

| Bangalore to Tirupati and back : 577 KM, full tank to full tank ( till auto shut off) consumed 31.28 lts of diesel. Filled at Ganaganagar shell before start, and filled at old madras road shell while returning. I notice that my car fuel efficiency has dropped quite a bit. When I last checked on long drive it returned around 21+ now it has come down to 18+. I fail to understand any reason behind this. Only thing that was done after the previous drive was the second service. Immediately after my second service there was a battery problem diagnosed and the battery was replace with new one. Any idea what could be the reason behind the mileage drop? |

| Old Zen Quote:
Car: 2001 Zen LX, 46,000 km Drive: 100% New Delhi city (since May '08) Fuel: Ordinary petrol, mostly BP, sometimes IOC. Due to convenience, not preference. Driving style: I love my acceleration! Average: 11.5 kmpl (Summer, always a/c) 12.5 kmpl (Winter, no a/c) I'm planning on doing 3k - 5,000 km highway/intercity travelling post June, so if I can squeeze out 17 kmpl on those trips, I'll be quite happy! | |
