I am actually led to believe Maruti hard-sells their petrol variants more - be it pricing or the subtle pressure that a Maruti sales guy would apply on you. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. @ All I've discovered that with 7 adults in my TUV 300 and a wind-catching rooftop luggage load, I get 15 Kmpl on the highway. Whereas, with just 3 adults and zero luggage on the top, I've derived 18.5 kmpl on the highway. | |

I haven't seen many reports from Ford Figo first gen owners. Below are the average numbers for my Ford Figo 2013 TDCi: City driving with mixed traffic and AC on all the time: 15kmpl Highways with mostly 2 people onboard and AC on 50% of the time: 19kmplRecently came back from a long road trip (Bangalore-Mangalore-Sringeri-Udupi-Gokarna-Goa-Hubbali-Bangalore) which had a mix of all sorts of roads over 2K kms(Not driven within Goa much) and the FE averaged out to 18kmpl. These are average numbers measured tankful to tankful at auto cut off always. The numbers are averaged out over a year and 16000+ kms of ownership. The lowest number seen is 14kmpl and the highest is 21kmpl. Driven with a slightly heavier foot, shifting up at around 3.5K rpm most of the time(beyond which there is no point). | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() My 5 month old 5700 KM run Verna petrol MT returns 9.8 to 10.5 in a mad city traffic (Pune guys would know Mundwa signal and Mundwa - Hadapsar stretch), average speed as per car computer remained in 16km - 18km per hour zone. Short highway dash in likes of Pune - Shirdi returns in the range of 15km to 16km per litter of petrol. I have done only one long highway trip which was Pune - Goa return trip with 3 days on Goa roads. This returned near to 19 KM/L, but the car was running in and I hardly crossed 2k RPM. I follow full tank (auto cut off) to fuel tank method and strictly use Shell regular petrol. |

Or am I missing something here? PS: Another doubt I had, you mentioned none of the 5 passengers had sweaty backs, whereas here in this thread you mention that the car had no passengers except the driver: Quote:

How much did you get in each tankful? From what I can understand, in two tankfuls, you can get two readings. So how come you reached Max, Min and Avg Figures based on just two readings? ![]() | |

| ![]() My Hexa XM 4x2 [Jan 2018] done 18K km, consistently gives 19-20 kmpl on highways if I drive in 85-100 kmph range. This is achieved yesterday on Yamuna Expressway. Hexa does not register FE above 20.0 kmpl, there is some software limitation. For regular city drive or for 120 kmph speed, FE drops to ~15 kmpl range. |
