You can get a touch up done if it's a small area but otherwise, it can look patchy and bad. What about putting a Team BHP sticker there? ![]() FE will improve slightly after a few thousand kms. But we need to be realistic about what mileage we can expect from a petrol car. There are many posts in the internet claiming mileage of 20 kmpl for a petrol car. Don't get swayed by that. I am not saying those are not true but we don't know the conditions under which that kind of mileage was achieved. I get around 13 kmpl in city conditions with 100% AC on which involves moderate to heavy traffic. Under similar conditions, my Santro used to give 11-12 kmpl. I have achieved 20 kmpl on airport runs on empty roads crusing between 80-100 kmpl. You might want to check your FE on ideal conditions once. Honda Petrols are very fuel efficient. So, don't worry too much about FE and enjoy the drive. I would advise not to drive at very low rpms in order to get more FE as it cause more harm than good. For the Jazz, try to drive mostly between 2000 to 3000 rpm which is kind of a good compromise between FE and performance. Best of luck ![]() Last edited by adimicra : 26th April 2016 at 12:12. | |

![]() Thinking of touch up mainly because it won't be very noticeable even if the paint job looks patchy. I will watch my fuel economy overall. Does it improve after the first oil change or so? Quote:
I'll check out the paint job at Honda service. How much did your reverse parking sensor system cost? | ||

In our case, our front bumper scrapped a little while parking diagonally and they offered a touch up job themselves without any charge when we took it for regular servicing. FE will show improvement even before oil change as you gradually get accustomed to the car. Steady speed and avoiding sudden braking and acceleration should give you good FE. | |

I took about 25K worth of accessories from the dealer out of which one of them was a Xenos parking sensor (3K), found it pretty useful so far and agree with all that it really helps in spite of having a reverse camera. My dealer quoted 6K for Honda parking sensor and suggested me the Xenos one. | ||

I will watch out my driving style a bit. I'm still very much in learning mode with the power delivery on this one. Quote:

Speaking of warranty reminds me - I was going through the documentation over the weekend & noticed that I have received only the contract paper for the Extended warranty where this is written - "...The Terms & conditions of this Extended warranty are not the same as original warranty. So please take a little time to go through the attached Terms & conditions..." Do you guys have any idea what are those Terms & conditions as I dont see Dealer have given any such things to me. | |

Regarding Extended warranty, I'll check my documents and see if I have something similar. | ||

Also what the MID displays is the average from the time you have reset the trip. So for example, if you fill fuel and reset the trip on a fuel pump on the outskirts and hit the highway directly, the MID will show almost near 20Kmpl. On the other hand, if you fill up and do some runs in the city for a while and then take it to the highway, it takes a while to climb up since the city run would have pulled the average down. What I observed in my CVT at least was that if you accelerate to the desired speed and then back off from the throttle slightly, the Real time indicator starts climbing up (It reaches max if I am coasting in-gear). If I hold the accelerator instead of easing off a bit, the real time indicator stays on the lower side. Try this and update on how it behaves. This gets me thinking, on the automatic, in D mode, I mostly see the rpm being held at 1500 when doing constant 40-50kmph. It is only during increased acceleration do I see the rpm go above 2000. Even with kickdown in D mode it does not go above 3000. Only when I move to S mode, it starts holding 2000 rpm and goes above 3000 on kickdown. Does that mean that the engine is very close to being lugged most of the time in D mode? Last edited by praveen_v : 26th April 2016 at 14:42. Reason: Additional quote | |

| ![]() The horn seems to be too feeble although bought a V variant which is supposed to have dual horn!! Any suggestions - without affecting the warranty? Can ask the service guys during the first service.. |

Update on fuel economy: Drove like a saint this morning on the way to office. Always stayed in the green light zone, watching the instantaneous FE constantly, and reset the trip before starting. Peak AVG I got on the MID was a whopping 18.7kmpl! Even in stop and go traffic the least was 13.4kmpl. Absolutely astonished by the FE figures. ![]() | |

![]() Have a question for the forum regd FE - The iDtec I am driving, I have no complains regd mileage as its giving me 20.5 already. But one thing I am noticing is that the green glow goes away as soon a you cross 1500rpm. E.g. If I am in 5th gear at 80kmph the green glow is visible as the rpm is 1500 but a little step on the gas and it turns blue again - even at 1700. 1500rpm - IMHO isn't it to less for a diesel engine of 1500cc, I guess it can do more harm than good as adimicra you mentioned. I might be wrong - but coming from Figo Tdci - which used to come to life at around 2000rpm, I am finding a bit weird. Whats you guys take in this? | |

I've tried feathering the throttle pedal. This gives very slow acceleration, but the indicator stays green most of the time. | |
