![]() I have a doubt. Even after filling 1-2psi more than recommended when I look at the tires there is a slight bulge on the sidewall as if it under-filled. What could the reason be for that? Is it the construction way and made to look like that in normal conditions? | |

Actually whenever I hit highways, I don't know what happens to my earlier sedate driving habits of cruising between 70-90, I start trying to drive it spiritedly and drive it at non-constant 120-130 even try to go for more but due to traffic,panic to co-passengers and other hazards, I can not manage to go beyond 130-135. Most highways runs so far of mine POLO can be called as spirited, so the mileage is great. I am trying to control my-self to not to drive like that and slight improvements are noticed as I started from 140+ now its 120-130, hope this speed will decrease more by the time. BTW are you talking about TDI or Petrol? | |

| ![]() My petrol Laura is giving me around 10 in the city (Bangalore), AC on always, and on the one long trip that I have done to Goa, I got 14 odd overall. But recently on a trip back from the airport, I got a really pleasant surprise. I had just returned from a hectic day trip and decided to take it easy on the drive and chose the Devanahalli route instead of the normal outer ring road route on my way to Sarjapur Road. Midway into the journey, I actually saw 5.3 l/100 km on the trip mileage meter (not instantaneous mileage meter) which translates into almost 19 kmpl. Goes to show that if you baby the throttle and find empty stretches of roads, even this petrol beast is capable of returning fantastic fuel efficiency! Go Skoda! |

| ![]() in my 7 year old Alto, the efficiency had dipped all the way to 10kmpl because of my driving style and the Ghandhinagar traffic jam that I get everyday. During the last month, I consciously changed my driving style (started driving with light foot) and got 12.3kmpl even with the same traffic situation. This month, I am driving without AC. In last 7 years, I have never driven one complete tank without AC. The light foot driving continues. Hoping to clock 14+ kmpl in this cycle. |

| ![]() My Polo petrol give betwen 13 to 14 in city traffic. AC used 50%. I used tank full method from same petrol pump and same bunker. I am trying to change my driving style a bit by not going over 80 or rpm 2000 to see if I can improve upon this. Last month I did a Lonavala trip. I calculated FE on the Mumbai Pune express way...and it was 19. |

| ![]() Hi Guys, I have a 2006 Hyundai Accent CRDi. It is giving me 12.5-13 in City and 15 in highway, what do you guys think, Is it good enough for a 5 year old diesel car? Last edited by Jaggu : 22nd December 2011 at 14:46. Reason: Dotty post. Please use proper Punctuation instead of this... Thanks. |
