@Top-Gear; I find the Civic about 12-15% optimistic, while the Brio is about 8%. Now remember you need a differential flow sensor (inflow-outflow) so a few percent error is to be expected. I am a bit surprised by the display being pessimistic, but then it may happen. In the Civic there are two displays, so while I use on for the tank the other I use as a trip meter. |

Yesterday when I calculated the average using tankful to tankful method, I found that to be lesser than the digital reading as you pointed out. Don't remember exactly by how much, but it was in the 5-10 % range. |

MID Average does not account for fuel evaporation due to heat. Also some MID's do not calculate when the engine is idling. Perhaps that explains the variation? |

Could ne what you say since my Civic is driver far less than the Brio. But evaporation losses are far less in new cars since the stuff is captured in an adsorbent and then sucked back. Also, I do see the figure dropping esp. when stuck in traffic immediately after filling. |

@ozzyrules; There is far more weight in the Front than the rear. Even the Brio has 29 and 26 recommended, even though it is a petrol |

Guess it depends on the car. On my A-star and Optra (petrol), the recommended pressure is the same for all 4 wheels. But, as Sgiitk pointed out, the Brio needs a higher pressure at front. |

Quite likely to be so since their is more weight over the rear tyres. |

Thank you! I take it to mean that as compared to the Brio, the extra weight of the Amaze at the rear would balance out that of the engine in the front? |

How about Amaze with 165 mm Ground Clearance. people who are using please clarify this. |

i have a doubt. heard VW Vento ground clearance is not enough and its hitting the speed breakers with 168 mm of GC. How about Amaze with 165 mm Ground Clearance. people who are using please clarify this. I have booked an Amaze - SMT. awaiting your response. |
