Got 17.2 kpl FE in my Innova Hycross on a trip: How we managed to do it

Filled the fuel at Siddipet, 115 Kms from home, when dad went there for some work, on Wednesday.

BHPian car_guy1998 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

My folks did a trip of nearly 1100 Kms (1080 Kms to be precise) to Coastal Andhra for visiting temples on Friday morning and came back home by today early morning 4am.

People traveled were 3 along with chauffeur.

Also, the car gave an FE of 17.2 Kmpl before the refuel at Gannavaram, which is after Vijayawada, in AP.

Here is how my folks got this FE:

Filled the fuel at Siddipet, 115 Kms from home, when dad went there for some work, on Wednesday (08/01/2025) and next day (09/01/2025), the car was driven within the city for 90 Kms and on Friday (10/01/2025), they headed to the destination when the DTE was 285 Kms or something. And for the fuel, my dad paid Rs.3000, which translated to 27.9l while the fuel price per liter was around Rs.107.5.

Odo before start was 51,619 Kms and post the trip, the odo stands at 52,695 Kms.
