Dont even consider the drive as highway run, its just like what we drive on a regular day, in bangalore not so peak city/out skirts/outer RR.So the figure you quote are quite impressive.

The FE guage shows 20 kmpl and all at times, but its just a piece of stupid gizmo.

ps: if one can buy a Crv, one doesnt care about AC ON or Off coz it anyways has auto climate controls, so all the above is with climate control ON and at 20-23 deg

both my CRV's give me 6 in the city and 8 on the highway.
the accord 2.4 gives me 7 in the city and 9 on the highway.
my friend has the accord v6 and that gives him 5 in the city and 7 on the highway

Guys just returned from a long drive of 550KM..

Following are the figures for my Palio 1.2 Sport

Highway driving : 70%
City driving: 30% (Really really congested bumper to bumper traffic)
AC: 100% on all the time
FE: 15 KMPL

Last time with 60% AC it returned me 17.5 KMPL. This time due to City traffic and AC it came down to 15. But still I see it as a good figure..

wheelsNsqueals · 22nd August 2007, 12:21

My Opel Corsa Sail 1.6 returns about 8 to 8.5 kmpl in city and amazingly 15kmpl on highways. Once during a trip from Mumbai to Pune and back, I got 17kmpl. I can't explain the wide variation, but I have observed this on several occasions. I use normal petrol and add System G at 1:10. The AC is always on when I am in the car. I mostly drive in Mumbai with weekends on highways where I rip. Push it regularly past 140 and a few times 165kmph on the expressway before sanity takes over.

I keep complaining to the service guys about the low FE, and post service the car gives an additonal 1 to 1.5kmpl for a few days before slipping back to the Opel bad habits. I wonder what do they tweak to give better performance and why doesn't it stay that way.

vkhandelwal · 26th August 2007, 18:29

last week My swift VXi gave me 17 KM/L with A/C running on highway(400 KM run). in city FE is usually 11/11.5 KMPL

GSHA · 27th August 2007, 18:14

My Alto Vx1.1 gave 15.5kmpl in city (80% AC usage) to 18~19kmpl on the highways (100% AC usage).

My Baleno gave an overall mileage of 13kmpl (11.5kmpl in city and 16kmpl on the highway). I never turned off the AC. Rarely rolled down the windows. Once I managed 21.5kmpl on a 350km run from Bangalore to Chennai on the GQ with only 30% AC use, single ride (only me and my backpack on the car), steady speed of 80~85kmph, never applied brake - would let the car coast down to less than 40kmph before applying brakes. This was a freak trip

and I never bothered to repeat it. I tried this after I read the MAX Mileage article in Autocar.

My Cedia is giving 10.7kmpl overall mileage, again, with 100% AC usage. In city it gives around 9.5kmpl which goes up to 13~14kmpl on the highways.

Mileage Update:
My Alto returned 21.25kmpl in an entire trip (home to home) in a 526km trip with 75km AC. This is the highest I got in an entire trip.

so we desided to take them on the trial on their routs at their timings with them but me at the steering wheel.
the max i got is 26kmpl on highway in palio 1.2 pre nv +two ghats to and fro .<the customer used to get 10 in the same traffic conditions>now he gets 15-16
1.6 gtx 18 kmpl without ac including two ghats to and fro .
petra diesel 30.63 without a/c with 5 people on board plus 50 kg dead weight .
one customer couldnot accept the figure of 21 kmpl so we went for the back to back test... we got 23 the second time
for tatas
xeta <petrol>26 kmpl without a/c
indigo pet 18 in ac .

asnd voila !!! wvery one without any exception started getting good avrages
