But seriously guys, I was looking at some of the Palios and Petras (petrol) and the FE is really decent and comprable to Corsas, Accents etc. Wonder how it got the reputation of a gas guzzler.

honda city ,1.3 :- 9kmpl with ac in city,11 with ac on a highway with ac on :(
zen :- 12kmpl with ac.never took it on a highway so dunno bout the high way:)
opel astra :- GOD!!!!!!!PLS GIFT ME A PETROL PUMP ON THIS BIrTHDAY hehe :D 6kmpl in city with ac, 8kmpl on a highway

My car's fuel Efiiciency are as follows

CITY HIGHWAY

Santro 10.5-12 14

Palio 1.2 :mad: 8.5-9 11.5

OHC 1.5 10-11 11-15

Octavia 1.9TDI 11-13 15-18

Corolla 9.5-11.5 12-15

All City figures are Delhi with Ac on 90% of the times.

The best figures I have ever achieved on the above cars are as-
(With AC)
Santro-14
Palio-12.5
OHC- 16.2
Octavia- 20
Corolla- 15.3

hey y'all...

i do the top up to top up...and the automatic stop on the fuel pumps are the best way to calculate...theres always a litre or so more that can be squeezed in.....

alto Lx - city with a/c - 12Kmpl
- city without a/c - 14kmpl
Indica DLS - cith w/ a/c - 14kmpl
- city w/o a/c - 16kmpl
Palio 1.2 - city w/ac - 11kmpl (no without a/c figures as dad drives itand he cant take madras heat!!)

doeas K&n airfilter do anythin for mileage?.. thinkin bout it it for my alto... also anyone got any mileage increase with IOC premium or BP speed?

mycroft

My Santro 1.0 gives 15 kmpl in city conditions. But then, a lot of its time is spent on the Ring Road. Also, a very light throttle foot. Baleno is somewhere around 12-13, but never checked.

All figures without A/C on.

Car - Baleno
with the AC on all the bloody time!

In City Figs -
Avg, 8.75 ,
(But i tend do do short runs in high traffic areas most of the time)
Best - 10.0
Worst - bad traffic & Lead foot, 8.0

Highway - with the AC (again)
13.5, doing a decent clip

I wish my city mileage was better, but it cant be helped.

well, here are my needles to the haystack....

best;

Maruti 800 mpfi-19 kmpl.
Zen mpfi-18 kmpl.
alto mpfi-18 kmpl.
Esteem mpfi-19 kmpl.
Indica V2 diesel-20 kmpl.
Indigo diesel-20 kmpl.
Tata safari-13 kmpl.
Hyundai accent crdi-21 kmpl..!!!!
HH splendor-68 kmpl...!!!!!!!

as for the worst figures.....

Tata estate- 9 kmpl.
Daewoo cielo-4 kmpl, flat out; it's a manual, by the way...
Tata safari- 8.0 kmpl- flat out, again...
OHC vtec- 8.0- dunno if you're gonna believe this... was my uncle's friend's car, i borrowed it for a day, ripped in each gear till 6500 r.p.m, and this's what i got.....
Palio diesel-8.5 kmpl...
Opel astra petrol- 6 kmpl.
Ambassador petrol Mark IV- 7 kmpl.
Contessa 1.8 carb- 7kmpl.
Maruti gypsy 4X4- 7 kmpl...same story....
Ford ikon 1.6- 6 kmpl.
Hyundai accent gls-6 kmpl.
Ford escort petrol- 6 kmpl.

and the story goes on.....

Here are the figures... Not 36-25-36

E-Class 220CDI
City - 10/11
Hway- 14/16

Accord Auto
City - 7
Hway - 9/10

Skoda 1.9TDI
City - 14/15
Hway- 20/21

Accent
City - 10
Hway - 13

Qualis
City - 10
Hway -12

Optra
City - 10
Hway - 12

Ford Ikon 1.3 (CLXI) : highways: 15-16
City: 10-12

HH Splendor+: City: 48kms
Highways: 59kms.
If anyone knows a good machanic in BLR for HH, let me know. I need to rectify the FE.

My Palio NV gives following figures....

City : 14-15 AC-25%. Also consider the fact that I live near Wakad i.e. outskirts of Pune. So bumper to Bumper traffic % is 20 % only. Usually drives in 3rd or 4th gear.

Highway : 17-18 A/C 50%

Couple of my friends bought Palio NV with me. They too have similar figures. I dont know why people say that Palio gives low milage.

My Palio 1.2ELX (2001 Dec)..gives..15-16 kmpl in highway..& in slow traffic it gives 11-13kmpl always with AC ON.

My oldie FIAT 1100D gives 10-11 kmpl in Slow & a max 14kmpl in Highway.

Atleast by this thread let all know that Palio has decent mileage..coupled other lots of goodies. Its a better VFM package anyday.
