Tata Safari AT: Observations after 15000 kms & multiple highway drives

I have noticed a slight drop in the fuel efficiency though, maybe due to my heavy right foot.

BHPian ashish2135 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Completed 15k kms recently with a lot of highway runs in the past few months. My parents also traveled for the first time during a 700km drive last weekend. They found the car to be extremely spacious and comfortable, specially over 6 lane National Highways.

I have noticed a slight drop in the fuel efficiency though, maybe due to my heavy right foot. Saw some errors during my previous drives but they would disappear after a couple of minutes. I have finally made peace with the left pull and I have accepted that it is part of the package. This peace agreement was after I took the Safari to a friend’s place for a wheel alignment but without much success.

I also bought three jars of DEF before my last highway run and topped it up myself. The cost was Rs. 620 per jar and it comes with a pipe to help with the filling. I have kept one jar as spare at my home. Otherwise it has been a hassle free ownership experience. The car is solid and meant for highway runs.
