| ![]() Guys, My Ford Fiesta 1.6S gives me 8.5-9 kms/l in city driving conditions. Get around 14-15 kms/l on highways. And it has run around 11000 kms till date. Although wthin city I drive mostly on 1st-2nd gear due to traffic, but that just a 2 km strectch on my way back from office. Otherwise Delhi roads are fun to drive on. Its quite dissapointing consdering all other sedans of the same class give around 10-12 kms/l in city. I had spoken to my servce center people and they keep telling me that the mileage would improve over time since this is a new car. I dont know how much further I have to clock on the ODO to get a better mleage. |

| ![]() My Safari 2.2 dicor gives an average of 12.5kmpl on tank to tank refills, worst was 10kmpl whilst in Mumbai, best I think was just over 13kmpl, lots of stop start driving and short distances have not helped, average ac usage has been approx 70%, I wanted to measure my highway drive from Goa to Pune , as I'm sure I would have achieved around 15kmpl, but got caught up with other things and drove to Mumbai where the FE took a big hit, thanks to the bumper to bumper driving. Regards, Stefan |

| ![]() Hello friends @ T-bhp, I have been an anonymous beneficiary of the wealth of automotive information this forum has to offer. I finally registered out of desire to participate in these discussions. This is my first post ! I have been following many mileage related threads and have been rather surprised by the figures quoted (14-15 city mileage with AC & stuff). I drive a Santro (bought new, 1.5 yrs old now) daily to work in Chennai and the best I get is around 11.5-12 with 90% AC and plenty of short trips. The worst is around 9.5-10. Ofcourse, there are plenty of rules & variables when it comes to FE and let's say I adhere to atleast 75% of them. Some friends did say Hyundais are guzzlers compared to Maruti and maybe this is what they meant. |

I also have a Santro Xing which is 3 years old and had done 40,000 kms. It gives me a mileage of 13-14 kmpl within Chennai city and 17-18 on highways. I always drive with AC turned on, and avoid short trips. The worst it gave me was 10-11 kmpl 6 months back when I actually delayed the service. I informed the service station that the mileage has gone down in the last 2 months, and its back on track now giving me 13-14 kmpl now. | |
