| ![]() One of my car is an ANHC. I do get it on my indicator quite often if i drive it really sweet and nice. These are dream figures, which you cant attain in everyday drives. i get this figures while driving on highways. very rare though. |

Can we forget "indicator figures" and post actual FE (tankful-to-tankful) here ? | ||

| ![]() My Getz 1.3 is giving me around 12 KMPL with 100% AC in City and 14-15 KMPL on highways. |

![]() i guess any tbhp-ian worth his salt would know that the indicators are...well, just that-an indication.in my case, the difference between the indicator and the top up-to top-up value is about +1. what i have given for my set of wheels is the tankful-to-tankful method. | ||

| ![]() @supremeBaleno besides, your signature tagline says, 14kmpl (city driving)@100%ac, now thats not too far from the claim made by somebody during your research as you said. i rest my case ![]() |

I would also like to ask-How does one compute the percentage use of driving with the a/c on? What does it mean when one says - my FE is 18 kmpl with 50% a/c? Here's how I do it. Each time I fill up (tankful) I reset the trip-meter to '0'. Each time I switch on the a/c on a drive I note the kms reading on the trip-meter. I do the same when I switch off the a/c. I then save the number of kms traveled with the a/c on my cellphone. When I fill up (tankful) the next time, I divide the total distance driven with the a/c with the total kms run (i.e., 300(600)/100) to get the percentage of the drive with the a/c on and then get an accurate figure of the FE with the a/c on. This may sound cumbersome, but IMO is the most accurate way ![]() Cheers, gpa Last edited by gpa : 4th March 2010 at 10:52. | |

I suppose, this photo is that of the instant mileage indicator and possibly we can't use this for avg. FE calculation, I am sure you don't do that. If one is going a slight downhill (as in some sections in the ORR in Blr) in a car that has instant mileage indicator and speed is hovering around 40-50 with the foot withdrawn from accelerator pedal, he/she can acheive these figures quite easily. I have done that in my ANHC AT; and I have got instant FE beyond 40 KMPL this way. But, my avg. FE hovers around 11-12.5 KMPL( tankful method) depending on factors like: traffic volme in the road, how I am driving, how many folks are there in the car and the usage of AC. Just my two cents -Pratim | |

![]() That is how I tested once for city use as well. Distance covered close to 100 KM, full A/C on the way out, no A/C on the way in (night time). | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() @handsofsteel, apologise if it sounded like I was distrusting your claim. That was not the intention. On tbhp, we come to a conclusion of a car's FE based on figures reported by tbhp-ians from their actual usage (instead of relying on what the manufacturer says or magazines say). Since we really don't have that many Jazz on the forum, I felt it was too early to conclude. Quote:
The FE under normal driving is 12kmpl which is pretty far from what the 15kmpl which was told to me by an owner. Hope this clarifies. Quote:

| ![]() In my M800(MPFI 5 gear box) in city limits the FE was -17-18kmpl Highway FE for M800 - 20-23kmpl with AC on for 15-20% of the ride In my new Chevy Beat In city limits with 50% AC usage: 14kmpl |
