Hi Torino,

I do a 70 KM trip every day, that's home> office > Wifes office> Home. SO normally i am at 60 KMPH for around 20 KM from home to office and then next 15 KM i am at 100 KMPH. and the evening circuit is 40-60 KMPH. All driving is done with almost no traffic. So normally i get around 520-540 KMPL, but for last two times i got 620-630 KMPL. I think that is because of less usage of the AC.

i also would like to mention that usually i keep 28 pressure in tyres, as it feels really bumpy at 33. But the 600+ have been at 33 PSI.

On highways i have been comfortable with speeds like 100-120. and over all millage used to be 20-22 KMPL. On our ride to Chitkull we got 23.something. I was really amazed by the performance and efficiency of the car. I rarely used M cause then i forget to change gears :P

Dear desideep,

There seems to be a small typo here. Are you really getting 520-540 to 620-630 km per lt? OR do you mean km per tank? OR do you mean something else?

Later you talk ot 20-22 kmpl .... :)

No offense intended.

Take care.

A question to all : What is the model number mentioned on your RC copy. Mine says Alto K10B VXI without mentioning any AMT anywhere, even though it is an AMT model.

Also has anyone tried the Full Tank method for mileage calculations? What are the mileage figures one gets for a full tank calculation.

I drive in bumper-to-bumper traffic, for mostly short distances before the engine has warmed up enough, and get very poor mileage figures. Since the last tank full I have taken taken great care to drive in a fuel-efficient way and drove extra distance during each ride. I will update my mileage figure during next tank full, in a day or two.

Our Alto K10 AMT just crossed 1000km and I'm recording a mileage of 11kmpl. This is in crazy bumper to bumper traffic with a moving average speed of 12kmph as per Google My Tracks app and the Torque Pro app.

To compare, my old Alto K10 (the original pocket rocket) also used to give me an avg mileage of about 13kmpl in similar driving conditions over its short but amazing journey of 4y/30000km with our family. The same car gave me a jaw dropping 24kmpl on Highway cruises.. So I know it's the traffic to blame.
