Explained: How I get excellent fuel efficiency from my Tata Tigor AMT

This time, tried to do something different. Decided to never cross 2000rpm, in any gear.

Gave the Kushaq some rest and used the Tigor (AMT) for a full fuel tank for my office commute. Got 19.45 kpl, tank to tank.

This time, tried to do something different. Decided to never cross 2000rpm, in any gear. Barring a few instances, I stuck to this honestly. And I have been using the manual mode, because I can upshift early.

My office commute is between Greater Noida and Noida. Which is 60% expressway, 30% moving city traffic and 10% bumper to bumper. The expressway is heavily congested in peak hours, so unless you overtake aggressively, you are not going to touch speeds above 80 kph. So, I take the slowest lane and happily cruise between 70 and 80 kph. This is where the engine is most comfortable at, which is between 1500 - 2000 rpm. No noise, no vibrations, just happy cruising.

In one tank full, I managed to do 632 kms. On the Tigor, this would be my highest yet. And this despite the car going to Delhi two times, in heavy traffic. AC usage should be around 40%. And as mentioned before, I always use the 95 octane HP Power petrol.

Another thing, I have factored in. My Tigor has 185 section tyres, so reduced 0.9% (speedo error) from the total kms covered.
