| ![]() My Fiat Palio MJD gives me 20-21 KMPL in 100% city driving conditions without AC. The lowest I have got in the city is 17KMPL (this was with AC on most of the time) and the highest was 22KMPL. |

![]() The maximum I've been able to squeeze out from my Alto in the city with 10% use of the a/c has been 19.57 kmpl. Am planning on filling up with Shell normal unleaded petrol at my next tank-up and then see if I can better the figure. ![]() | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() 22 KMPL is really amazing, beats even the most fuel efficient cars. ![]() But quiet a difference of fuel avg. between great_guns & lejhoom. Probably the AC & the driving style. Quote:

The FE we got for the one month old, clocked 600 km, Kappa Magna is a poor 9.00 km/l by tank full to tank full method. 100% AC (mild) and within city, mixed short(4 km) and long (36 km) stretches. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() BTW you also on Palio MJD ? 14.5 in Bangalore seems a good FE considering the bumper to bumper traffic around. I get a 12 KMPL, first low fuel warning cycle, no AC, part highway / part city with speed brakers every where on My Scorpio VLX. Quote:

Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your car and the answer to your low FE is in your post. A short drive such as 3 kms one way is bound to give you bad FE. Try going on a longer drive and I am certain that your FE will improve substantially. Also, do take her out on the highway and you will see an even better improvement in the FE. ![]() Cheers, gpa |

| ![]() My Alto LXI has been giving me a general fuel economy of 20.72 kmpl. Let me first give you a brief on my style of driving: 1. I almost never use the AC. In fact, the AC is used only when it rains and on a summer afternoon. Somehow, I don't like driving with the AC on and I prefer the natural wind entering the cabin. 2. I drive all over Goa, both in rural and urban areas. 3. I fill fuel at various petrol pumps, mostly those which accept a credit card, so preference to any one petrol pump. 3. My maximum speed is 70 kmph. 4. I try to get on the 5th gear whenever possible. 5. Most of the times, my wife, our one-and-half year old daughter and I travel in the car. Dickey/hatch is always partially filled with baby's bag and some marketing bags. Occasionally, fourth person (mum-in-law) travels with us. 6. I use the original tyres supplied on the Alto and there have been absolutely no modifications on the car. I don't check separate fuel economy readings for city and highway driving, and whatever fuel economy I get is a result of both of them put together. The drive could range from the busy route in and around Panjim city (mostly 2nd-3rd gear) to the relative easy traffic on a Panjim-Margao road in the morning. The tank-to-tank readings are as follows: 1. 548.4 kms -- 28.28 ltrs -- 19.26 kmpl 2. 363.2 kms -- 18.14 ltrs -- 20.02 kmpl 3. 569.7 kms -- 26.41 ltrs -- 21.57 kmpl 4. 627.0 kms -- 29.76 ltrs -- 21.07 kmpl 5. 632.1 kms -- 28.78 ltrs -- 21.96 kmpl 6. 599.1 kms -- 29.38 ltrs -- 20.39 kmpl 7. 455.6 kms -- 22.44 ltrs -- 20.30 kmpl TOTAL: 3795.1 kms -- 183.19 ltrs -- 20.72 kmpl These readings were done in random over a period of one year (after the first service). Suffice to say, I have been quite pleased with the fuel economy of my Alto. Regards. |

Having said that, your FE of 18.5-19.5 kmpl is also very impressive, given the type of traffic in Bangalore. Traffic is relatively much less here in Goa. Regards | |

| ![]() A lot of people on this forum and elsewhere have claimed that the petrol edition of the Ritz is outselling its diesel counterpart by a huge margin. Many attribute this to the relatively cheaper price for the petrol version and the fuel efficient K series petrol engine on the Ritz. But has anyone (especially on this forum) actually performed a tank-to-tank FE analysis on the Maruti Ritz petrol engine? I would be very interested to know these readings. Thanks, Melvyn |
