Could see a 5-10% increase in FE in the winters.

Awesome numbers for a Corolla auto! What are the city Vs Highway percentages?

vasudeva · 13th November 2007, 16:23

These are not awesome but OK figures. FE is quite sensitive to AC (I use auto AC at 27C) and traffic. When I go to office, I travel 70 kms daily for a travel time that varies wildly from 130 mins to 190 mins on some days (variability coming from traveling on Delhi-Gurgaon). The variance in FE is then 11-11.5 (130-140 mins) to 9.5 (190 mins). The highest weekly FE I have reached is 12.2 (388 kms). The lowest was 9.1 (373 kms). Never have taken it out of Delhi, do not over-rev, and do not accelerate superfast. But after 8 months, I have more or less come to expect the summer range in Delhi which is 9.5-11.

I am expecting 5-10% improvement in FE in winters. If the Gurgaon expressway is completed, then another 5-10% improvement. So my average of 10.4 so far could jump to around 11.5.

I had also posted somewhere (and so have many other members) the FE and rpm relationship which proves that 50-100 kmph gives the best FEs.
