MY WAGON R 14 with 50% a/c on in city (very light traffic)

Merc · 29th October 2006, 17:07

My Skoda Laura DSG is giving me around 14 KMPL..

The trip computer is constantly showing around 6.9 to 7.1 L/100KM.

Is it possible that the daily drive is low like 1-5 KMS total ?

M800 gave around (147 Kms/6.39 lts) = 23.01 Kms/Ltr yesterday on Blr to Mys trip with Shell(normal) petrol. This was achieved on speeds hovering around 70 to 100 kmh. Shell does make a difference as i usually never got anything more that ~18 before on similar trips.

Hey Merc!

U get the 14kmpl in city or highway??? and u feel comfortable with the l/100kms reading? i found it very difficult to guess everytime, so changed it to kms/1 ltr, in the menu options, hope u know that can be done.

Is it possible in the older Octy too ??

My WagonR Aug 2005 model gives 11-12kmpl with 50% AC in Hyd and 17kmpl with AC on Highway at 60-90Kmph speed.

d_momaya · 30th October 2006, 16:54

Oct '05 Zen Lxi in city with 120 kg payload and intermittent a/c (windows always rolled up above 60 kph) - 18 kmpl.
On ghat roads, no a/c, windows down - 16 kmpl.

'83 Fiat Padmini in city, windows always down - 10 kmpl.

suren181 · 30th October 2006, 17:16

My Santro Zip Plus has been steadily giving me 12 ~ 12.5 kmpl in the city with AC on about 50% ~ 70% of the time and 18 ~ 19 kmpl during Highway trips.... But a recent trip to Kerala, Tamilnadu and Karnataka changed all that (highway figures i.e) to 14.5 ~ 15 kmpl

hiya mate,

well, i have never gone thru the functions in detail of the Octavia, so dont know of it, jus driver it a few times and thats it.

But i am reckon that should definately be possible, jus check the manual, or that button which changes the display, press that for a few seconds and go into the SETUP, and maybe there u will find an option to change the setting.

hope it helps!
