Wow, Hyderabad petrolheads got a good lead about IBP. Can somebody from Hyderabad give a similar lead ( tested) for diesel as well??

But still, now that the engine is feeling more and more free, having done almost 2800km, I have started pushing the needle a bit, with a foray or two into the 4000rpm region. While the feeling is no short of heady, the FE is down to 8.5. Which I guess, is OK for a 100bhp 1.6 litre engine.

Its 3 months now. and I am driving my Petra a little harder. Often going into the 3000 rpm range and also quite frequently, into the 4000 rpm band. City FE is down to 8.5 at its lowest and 11.5 when I am studiedly frugal. All figures are with 100% AC. On the highway, FE is 15.5 (tested on a single Bombay Daman Bombay drive) again with 100% AC all the while pushing the car to 3000 + rpm's sometimes even touching 5000.
But all this is purely academic and I now care two hoots for FE, such is the character of the car.

I own a 2004 Santro Xing.
It gives me 13-14 in city and 18-19 on highway without AC.

Swift Zxi, In the first three weeks, city - 14.6, highway - 18.5 (NH4).

I own a 4 month old viva crdi, driving style is aggressive ( 95% of the times)

Before 4K : 13.5Kmpl ( City-30% ac), 16.5kmpl ( highway-100% ac)
After 4K: ~15kmpl ( city-30% ac), 19.5kmpls ( highway-100%ac,doing extremely high speeds)

Well said & its good to see soemone who takes it as it comes & is not hell-bent on proving that his vehicle is THE most fuel efficient ......as time goes by on this thread, there are more & more posts about mileage figures that are way in excess of that claimed by even the manufacturers!!!

@mobike008, what is the significance of 4K kms ? I did read here that after the initial running-in period of 1000kms, the FE increases a bit. But can't understand the relevance of the 4K km point.

Maybe its the first service interval or first oil/oil filter/fuel filter change? Though normally diesel engines would not have a 4k interval AFAIK......

For the first time I have obtained 11.5 KMPL on IBP Regular in my Petra too. Nope, I have not changed my driving style, the trips are longer now. Got these numbers doing not so sedate driving.

[unknown_entity]

NHC Gxi (2007) .....

1) City conditions (Delhi-Gurgaon): 15.7 km/l
2) Highway (Delhi-Jaipur): 20.2 km/l

[johy]

Fuel: HP Speed

City: 13 to 13.5 kmpl (50% AC usage)
Highway: 19.7 kmpl (100% AC usage)

Driving style - sedate, but like to push it on the highways.

I was a little taken aback when checking the highway FE (tankful-auto cutoff method, same bunk), but I have cross-checked it; mighty pleased
