What is your Actual Fuel Efficiency?

meerkat · 22nd September 2006, 15:43

Well, I've never tracked mileage seriously before, but had a feeling that
it was not less than 12. Now that I've tried to track for two tankfulls, here
are the results (post 3rd service):

Approx mileage : 16 km/l , "city" driving with AC off.
Fuel : regular BP/ Shell (auto cut-off)
Car : Baleno Lxi stock.
I try to avoid peak hours (definitely in the morning)
Driving style will bore enthusiasts : almost never beyond 2000 rpm
(this is not necessarily by choice), mostly around 1500.

I guess with AC on, I'll get something similar to rjstyles69.

meerkat, that is some great FE, especially in B'lore.
Wow, 16kmpl... v1p3r's Baleno has some serious competition as far as FE goes.

chocoguy4u · 22nd September 2006, 16:27

9 - 9.5 on my baleno. partly with ac off

meerkat · 22nd September 2006, 16:33

Well, I can legally claim Bangalore city driving, but I don't face nearly as
bad traffic condition as most Bangaloreans, thanks to mostly off-peak
hours, and also partly to the new, wider Bellary road. So what the mileage
really shows is close to the potential, -- Maruti may love it ! On the other
hand, I don't really drive with mileage in mind, just whatever feels
comfortable (as opposed to whatever thrills :-)).

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Here are my figures:

Maruti Alto 2006: City 12 Highway still to see (My current car bought 2 weeks back)
Nissan Almera 2005: City 9 Highway 13 -14 (I was driving it in South Africa)
Maruti 800 (without AC) 2000: City 14 Highway 18 (My first car)
Yamaha RX 135 1997: City 40 Highway 45 (used to drive it almost 100 kms on highway at 80 +)
Yamaha RX 100 1990: City 35 Highway 40 (My college buddy got stolen. I used to take it 100 -120 KPH and it used to hmm)

Cheers!

My Corsa gives me around 10 in the city with the AC...The Palio (1.2) is also pretty much the same....i drive sort of fast but try to keep the revs low

shalini_g · 25th September 2006, 17:30

My Ford Flair gives 12.8 with no AC and 16.8 on high way with 50% AC anf fully loaded(4 people and luggage).I use shell normal unleaded petrol

himanshugoswami · 25th September 2006, 17:51

My palio 1.2 gives 11.5 to 12.5 in city with AC (depends on where i get fuel from!) On h/w it gives 15-16.

My mum's getz in delhi is giving 10 with AC in city- no highway run as yet.

dsinz · 25th September 2006, 19:01

Well! My one month old Alto Lxi gives 16-17 KM with AC in City. Never went on a long drive and never checked for FE without AC.

My Kinetic Honda Y2K gives 40-45 KM Per Litre.

kurmist · 5th October 2006, 17:14

Honda City ZX....gives approx. 12 - 13 kmpl in city driving with AC on 90%.

subbarp · 7th October 2006, 00:31

Toyota Corolla(2006)
In the City : 10 to 10.5 kmpl
Highway : 14 kmpl

both figures with AC on.

Hi Folks,

This is my latest reading from trip to Sringeri
-- Blr To Sringeri (kms=349/fuel=14.77lt) -- 23.63KMPL
-- From Sringeri to B'lore (kms = 352/fuel=14.51) 24.26 KMPL
[70% Night driving ]
-- 100% B'lore city driving (kms = 351/fuel=23.58) 14.89KMPL

Am kind of surprised since first time am getting above 22. All above is after recent Service+oilchange.

M800 5Speed. Shell normal petrol is giving me excellent results.

ankitahuja · 23rd October 2006, 19:00

Hey guys,

I drive a minimum of 50+ kms in the city everyday and my 1998 OHC gives me a mileage of 12-14 kmpl with the A/C on and about 14-15 with the A/C off.

I used to have a FLAT 15+ kmpl mileage with he A/C in the city before I got a conical filter and intake pipes, without A/C used to be over 16+ :(

Do you guys think this is allright? I don't have a K&N but something called a Power Flow Filter (its like a Short RAM intake) with a wire-mesh filter and rubber intake pipe. Will posting a picture help to solve any problem?

raj_aryan4411 · 23rd October 2006, 19:26

My Honda City Gxi..gives approx....13kmpl in city driving WITH A/C..
On highway around 14-15 Kmpl

jessie007 · 24th October 2006, 01:36

Tata Indigo TDi 2006
City: 13-14 kmpl with a/c
Highway: 17-20 kmpl with a/c

Tata Sumo 1996
City: 9-10 kmpl with a/c
Highway: 10-12 kmpl with a/c (Depending upon the load and terrain - usually loaded when goes outstation)

All figures based on stock engine tuning, filters and stock tyres.
