Maybe you could add the above point (in case it is not already present) in the general car maintenance guide. This could be a key factor that many might be over-seeing. Imagine driving around the city with a bad battery for a month. In about 5000 km, one would have consumed enough addtional petrol to cost equivalent to a new car battery! | |

Patiala -> chandigarh. Road is Ok, but traffic is crazy, single lane undivided highway, slow moving traffic pouring from newly settled colony, educational institutes etc. | |

| ![]() On a very recent highway trip, I was pleasantly surprised to get 16.7 kpl from my 2008 Corolla 1.8. Maintained speeds between 80-100, and this has been the best mileage figure in the ownership. OT, the trip on Corolla costed cheaper than my Scorpio. |

| ![]() One more round of full tank to full tank check: Distance covered - 454 km Petrol topped up today - 31.58 l Mileage - 14.37 kmpl Mileage shown by the car's odometer - 17.5 kmpl (21.7% variance) Over 90% of the drive is during peak traffic times, mostly with AC on (not full blast). This is 1-2 kmpl above average, because of driving on almost empty roads during Diwali vacations. I had given the car for servicing yesterday, I don't know how much petrol was consumed during this. I expect the mileage to improve after this servicing. Last edited by sa_kiran : 28th November 2012 at 09:37. |
