What is your Actual Fuel Efficiency?

Ravveendrra · 27th January 2008, 23:50

The average FE my cars return is :

Skoda Laura
12 to 13 kmpl - city
13 to 15 kmpl - highway

Opel Corsa 1.6
9 to 11 kmpl - city
12 to 14 kmpl - highway

all running is with A/c. and FE is calculated from full tank to full tank.

Recently on a trip between Blr and Chennai I got a mileage of close to 18KMPL on my Tata Indigo. My Wagon R gives around 12KMPL in City. As for my Scorpio it returns a poor 9 KMPL in City and 12KMPL on the highway.

bblost · 28th January 2008, 15:12

for some reason my Wagon R has started giving me a very consistent 13.5+ kmpl in city.
Last tank full of shell ordinary petrol returned 13.95 kmpl for 357.5 kms.

kewlferrari · 28th January 2008, 15:16

My Baleno Lxi gives me 12.5 in the city and 15 on the Highway

Swift Zxi gives me 16.2 in the city and 18.5 on the highway

India V2 DLS
City (Delhi to Gurgaon return trip, a run of 50+ kms daily): 16-17 km/ltr
Highway 18-20 km/ltr

Was able to extract this mileage upto 5 years of ownership, with only 1 km/ltr dropping in the 5th year

Opel Astra (1998)
City - Between 6 and 7 (Mostly with the AC off and only me or 2 ppl in the car)
Highway - Not sure but i think it gave me 15 on my last trip from Mumbai to Lonavala with AC on and Luggage and 4 ppl).

Benson · 30th January 2008, 12:27

Alto 13 kmpl
ford ikon 1.6 6-7 kmpl
NHC 9-11 kmpl depending on AC usage

jayguar · 30th January 2008, 15:50

Old Honda City 1.5 Exi (1st Gen) - 15 kmpl in City and 17 kmpl on Highway all A/C on (this is because, my Dad drives this car)

New Honda City 1.5 Gxi (1st Gen) - 11 kmpl in City and 14 kmpl on highway with a/c on (I drive this car and hence the poor FE)

Honda Civic 1.8S - 9.5 kmpl in city and 12 kmpl on highway

Swaroop77 · 30th January 2008, 15:51

Swift ZXI
City->11-13 (depending on traffic/time of yr and god knows what!)
Highway->15-17 ( depends on road conditions and AC usage)
All figures are calculated with full tank to full tank with first auto cut off at time of filling.

cheers:I get more or less the same as u quoted for city and highway. However I have got upto 18 kmpl on Highways but nowadays I get 15-16 kmpl. I use A/c all the time and never stall the engine even when parking and waiting etc.

I have never used additives, I fill stock petrol and am not fussy about place where I fill em from. My car has never misfired. I just change oil at 5000-8000 kms interval and the car has clocked close to 120000 kms. How much has urs run?

jack33 · 4th February 2008, 12:14

Well here is the mileage i'm getting in 50% ghat(munnar) and 50% highway(kochi) driving
1.Skoda 1.9d-13-15kmpl
2.lancer 1.9d-11-13.5kmpl
3.MM540-8-10kmpl,,(with some 4wd drives)

Xehaust · 4th February 2008, 15:51

Hey btirthankar,
Guess we both are almost in the same boat :P

Mine has run 110000 kms and i also dont use additives and stock petrol. But most of the time i fill from the pump near my house, dont know if it makes a difference but they give good service and are really close.

P.S. - How about posting some pics

(once your garage is activated of course, mine will also be up the day my garage is activated)

I have a lot of pictures otherwise: esp this underbody one: Picasa Web Albums - Tirthankar - Car Underbody...

SUggesting u too get hi-res underbody pics. We can get more understanding.

Coming to Mileage Topic:

I believe in driving with a light foot, use engine braking, brake subtly, use clutch and self to a minimum (even if that means idling) and change at a shade below 2000 rpm without engine judder.

COOLAMOL · 6th February 2008, 18:34

last month i got a free flow done for my accent 1.6 dohc and man it gives me 12 to 13km/litre in the city and 17 km/litre on the highway

and that also fast driving ....earlier i use to get 9 to 10 km/litre in city and max and i say max 12 km/litre on the highway ....have not checked the top speed but will try that soon ...180 + soon on expressway. Autocar mag says 185 ..will try

i think the problem lies with these company fitted exhaust systems .
They not only rob power but also affect fuel efficiency
