Real-world fuel efficiency of my Jimny after a 800 km road trip

A big plus point of Jimny is the narrow width and compact size.

BHPian RijuC recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

FE figures and long drive (800 km+) experience report:

Yesterday I drove my Jimny from Pahalgam to Gurgaon. Started at 05:15 hrs from JKTDC Hutment area. The first stop was where Pahalgam Road meets NH44. The trip mileage on ICE was 17.3 km/l. This was with both front and rear defogger on.

The next stop was at the entry point of Chenani Nashri Tunnel from the North side for a loo break. It was downhill and FE was 22.6 km/l, with almost 50% time front defogger on. No AC.

The next stop was at Haveli, Katra road entry point in Jammu for breakfast. FE was 18.9 km/l. This section was with AC set between 24-25 deg C.

For the rest of the route, AC was set between 24-25 degrees C. All trip FE can be seen in the attached ICE screenshot.

Reached Gurgaon home at 00:45 hrs. Total drive time was approx. 16.5 hours. Total travel time was 19.5 hours including breakfast, snacks, tea and loo breaks. The total travel distance was 884 km (via the Jammu route). Air pressure was set at 26 psi for cold tyres (top-up was done by myself with a portable MGA tyre inflator at Srinagar before visiting Pahalgam). MY Jimny is of stock spec. with stock tyres (no external fitment which can interfere with CD).

I got a little exhausted mostly because of n-no. of diversions between Jammu and Samba.

A big plus point of Jimny is the narrow width and compact size. The compactness of Jimny saved me from waiting behind traffic jams at a few places.

I am attaching a few photographs of our Jimny and the bright hue of fall colours in Srinagar.
