Nope..i use mostly High beams . Low -beams only when there is on-coming vehicle and that too if he switches to low beam . If not , only highbeam .

The idle rpm is around 800 rpm .. So easy to drive in city traffic , but need to use only 1st gear most of the time . If i shift to 2nd and release the clutch , the car moves ahead suddenly till it reaches the 1000 rpm . I am testing fuel efficiency frequently , but i cant get the maximum possible FE as there are more truck traffic in my roads and cant drive at constant speed, due to frequent overtakes . I am also pushing her hard as i couldnt resist the temptation to feel the power and also driving at 120 kmph speed ( reaches 120kmph effortlessly) . So far i am getting 14 - 15 kmpl . Next week i will be going for a trip to Kerala , i will test the fuel efficiency that time.

Thats good FE for now. It will definately increase as the engine frees up.

djay, what is the stock tyre specs and what are the benefits of 195/60-14 Michelin PP1 5 tires w.r.t. handling, braking, ground clearance, ride quality and mileage as compared to stock tyres?
I think you are going for tubeless tyres as the stock ones are with tube.

Stock tyre specs
175/65-14 Goodyear GPS2.
Benefits of having PP1 will be explained by djay99

Girish,
Stock tires are Goodyear GPS2 175/65-14 Tube type.
Using Michelin PP1 195/60-14 tires:
-Handling will improve a lot in wet as well as dry.
-Braking distance will reduce by atleast 5% IMO.
GC will increase by 6mm.
Ride quality will be a bit harsh compared to stock tires as PP1 are sports tires.
Mileage will reduce by around 0.5kmpl

Yes i am going with tubeless tires.

I have written "Michelin PP1 5 tires". It means i am buying 5 tires and 4 alloys. Will be mounting 5th tire on stock rim.

Dude... I am seriously confused b/w Palio D and Getz D after TD'ing Palio. Now the extra 1 lakh rupees has become the main concern. I am not able to convince myself. I think, I may end up buying a Palio.

I came to know from the sales guy that u havent booked one yet

If you can live with Palio interiors, buy it.
Also you will have lesser resale value and service is still a problem. Thats why i ruled out palio even though its a good car.
Fiat's team was not able to make the engine smoother like what suzuki did for swift.
At the outset it may look like you are saving 1 lac. For extra 1 lac you are getting lot more.
EOD decision is yours and follow what you like.
