Yeah TurboSam I agree! A lot of fuel was wasted in the 1 hour stop go traffic. Only ONCE I drove 200 km without a/c on the highway because it was an emergency trip and I was doing between 130-160 km/h and a top speed of 180 km/h, and I got a FE of 11-12 after returning from that trip, return was 200 km same, but with full a/c and regular speeds of 120-140 + 10% city trip..

got over 14 KMPL in my Petra 1.6 while returning from home town. Heavy rains and limited visibility restricted me to speeds less than 60-70 KMPH. Heater was on with windows down to clear fog on windscreen for 7 Hrs. AC was on with windows rolled up for close to 3 hrs. This is the max KMPL I have seen so far.

Thats pretty good mileage sreenivas keeping in view the usage of AC and heater all that time.

Thanks. A part of the credit probably goes to the BP pump I filled from on my way back.

BP guys in hyderabad are awesome. I am currently on second fill of IOC diesel and I found them marginally better than BP. BP gives me regularly 13.25kmpl-13.50kmpl in this chaotic traffic along with my high rev driving. First fill of IOC gave me 14.25kmpl

all with about 40% AC city driving.

So i will stick to IOC as much as i can.

there is another petrol bunk near JB hills called Mohan's Petrol Bunk, beside Subway. I regularly get 13 to 14kmpl in my Honda City (GXI).

cheap_deal · 21st September 2007, 18:05

1 US gallon = 3.78 lts
1 Imperial gallon = 4.54 lts

bigron · 22nd September 2007, 10:56

my superb gives me 8 with ac in the city and a little over 9 on the highway.
my sonata gold gives me around 6 in the city and around 9 on the highway.( my sonata has clocked a little over 200000 kms so i guess the engine is not really what i call mint conditioin)
