| ![]() I too top up my tank regularly after auto cut off, and I have noticed an interesting thing. The amount of petrol it takes to bring the level to the brim (after auto cut off) varies from 0.75 to 1.75 litres approx, even with the same pump/nozzle. Even after filling to the brim, if you wait long enough, the level still goes down. So I am beginning to wonder whether I should test it by the auto cut off method a few times.

BHPian ![]() | ![]() In Mysore, we used to get 14-15 kmpl from our Maruti 800 4spd 2001, under city conditions. In Bangalore, we get just 11-11.5 kmpl. ![]() Bangalore traffic is so pathetic that there is so much difference. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() @Gansan: The logic is simple - the amount to top-up varies because auto-cut off can happen anywhere in that range. Auto-cut off does not happen consistently at one fixed point - it varies from nozzle to nozzle and even how far the nozzle is inserted. Top up will be more accurate in any case. And you see the fuel level going down a bit mostly because the extra fuel that fills the pipe overflows a bit. It can also happen when the air bubbles that went inside the pipe/tank along with fuel comes up and and escapes. PS: Top-up is not a recommended way of filling the tank - I do it only to test FE. EDIT: In my new car (Punto) I don't have to do this ever, as the MID shows the FE always. ![]() Last edited by clevermax : 28th July 2010 at 09:45. |

I hardly ever check my city average as I use the car mostly during weekends. Instead I just knock off 6 KM from my highway mileage figure to arrive at the approximate city average, which should be a safe bet! | |

| ![]() I have driven my new ANHC-VMT now for over 2000 KM's and I had consistanly got the FE over or around 15/lit (Calculated by Tankfull -TankFull method). When its 50% city + 50% bypass road (can't really call it Highway + Hinjewadi traffic) I get 17+ /lit. When its 80% city + 20% bypass road I get 15+/ lit. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hi, Quote:
Linea / Punto MID figures are reported quite accurate. Can't say that about the Manza though as it has variations. | |

| ![]() Checked the City FE of my 2008 Chevy Spark. Stock tyres, 100% City, 100% AC (Yeah, I know it is Bangalore, but its to avoid pollution and keep the interiors clean) :P Worked out to 13.249kmpl. Not bad, but used to be better. The clutch definitely needs to be replaced, will get that done early August and check again. Last edited by VeluM : 28th July 2010 at 19:04. Reason: Forgot the City bit. |
