What is your Actual Fuel Efficiency?

chethan25 · 10th January 2011, 19:03

Zen 2006, I drive it regularly to my office bsk 3rd stage to electronic city during non peak hours 12 PM and 10 PM and i am consistently getting 15kmpl without ac on i know this can get better if i dont rev on my initial gear but at time i do rev high on the initial gears(not above 3k to 3.5k rmp) which is getting me this FE but i can live with it. And its covered 34k kms already.

I have been driving my Alto K10 since August. All city drive with AC on till last tank full.
1st Tank (31.87L) - 12.11
2nd Tank (31.41) - 11.68
3rd Tank (30.94) - 13.57
Now on 4th Tank ~ 15.

All in journeys less than 2km at a time.

Since Christmas I have been using my brothers Zen Diesel. Since he is out of station. The fuel efficiency is just staggering. Checked tank full to tank full several times
Worst: 100% City with A/C on 80%- 16kmpl
Best: High Way run, early Morning without a/c: 210 kms in 7.7 Litres- 27.27kmpl
Overall over 1700kms covered in 84 Litres. 20.25 Kmpl. 70% Highways.40% with A/c.

Entire drive with just one passenger along. I issualy drive with a feather light foot.

About the car: 2001 Zen Di. Odo reads 104000kms.

Ok, here is the latest from my i-10 Sportz.

Odo-10,000 km
Fuel - BP Unleaded
AC - nil
Drive - 90% highway
KMPL - 18.8 (yeppee!!) Tankful to Tankful

I am very satisfied with the FE.

hemanth.anand · 18th January 2011, 12:23

I just did a 450km drive on sunday.

Car: Fiat Punto 1.2 Emotion
AC: 250 kms (morning half of the journey)
FE: 14kmpl
Fuel: Shell Unleaded
Odo: 5479kms to 5920kms

My Linea MJD gives 16 - 18 in City and Above 20 always on Highway.

1. Best FE Figure (Long highway run)
During new year while returning back from Jalna to Thane I got 24.4Kmpl.
Total Distance: 454 Kms
AC: 90% usage
Speed: 60-80

2. Best FE Figure (Shorter highway run)
The overall best given by Linea (on a shorter Highway run) has been 25.7 Kmpl between Pune-Mumbai over a 120Km run with 100% AC usage.

I believe there is further scope for improvement (for me the driver) in both City and Highway FE. Overall quite satisfied with my Linea.

Did a tankful last Friday. My daily driving is about 50Kms in city. Will update on the latest City FE figures in days to come.

swifts · 18th January 2011, 13:33

These are fantastic figures, with fuel prices increasing almost every other week, FE as huge as urs really makes me think of buying the linea mjd. The main reason i havnt gone for it is due to the rubbery gearshift it offers. I am waiting for new fiesta sedan but if takes too long to come to market i may go for linea.
How is your experience with linea and how many kms have u driven till date.

thnx

Cookie just completed 2500 km and I want to know if mileage is alright or I need any tuning.

Aveo 1.4 L (2010 model) stroked a 12.4 kmpl (75% AC)

520 km with 42 litre consumption i.e 12.38 kmpl.
Measured on one full tank
100 km in BLR city
280 km on nice clean highway (BLR -MYSORE)
40 km on bad road (40 kmph speed)
100 km on hills up down

Autocop · 18th January 2011, 15:23

With recent increases in Petrol prices the decision to go for Diesel makes more sense if usage is regularly above 1000Km/Mo. The FE extracted from a car largly depends on the external factors (Driver, Road Condition and Traffic). You can't change the latter two but former is something that is within your control. I think all modern Diesels < 1500 cc should be able to give such FE figures. Linea is certainly in the same league. I don't think Fiesta would be far behind in that aspect. But there are other things apart from FE for which you should definately consider Linea. Have sent you a detailed feedback thru PM. Have driven 18,000 Kms so far. It's been a year. The experience of owning Linea has been delightful.

I have a 2008 Optra Magnum Diesel. It initially used to give me a FE of 15 which had come down to about 14.5. However after the latest service which also included de-carbonisation the FE has jumped to 16.2. I am certainly not complaining.

Snazzy · 18th January 2011, 16:21

My Ford Figo has done 500 KMs so far and gives only 9.5 KMPL. Most of the driving is with AC on.

ghostrider · 18th January 2011, 16:28

My Swift DDiS gives me between 16.5 & 16.9 using the full-tank method only. This is a total city-cycle, and with fatter rubber (195) and bigger rims (15").

Considering current fuel costs (42/ltr for diesel and 63/ltr for petrol), if we take an average of abt 12kpl for the Petrol Swift, the per-km running costs work out as follows:

SWIFT 1.3 Diesel: Rs. 2.5 (approx)
SWIFT 1.3 Petrol: Rs. 5 (approx).

Given the fact that Ive done 35k kms in 2 yrs, I've more than recovered my money.

More importantly, though... I've loved every minute of driving the MJD. The Petrol has always seemed anemic in comparison.
