What is your Actual Fuel Efficiency?

I drive a chevy spark. Total kms run is 8200. It consistently gives me 15KMPL in city driving conditions and 18KMPL on highways. These figures are without AC.

Fiat Palio 1.6 Stile Sport (Petrol)

City driving with a/c = 10 KM/Liter

Highways with a/c - 13 KM/Liter

Scorpio MHawk Sle
City - 11.7 kmpl (with 100% AC - mostly in 2)

praful · 9th July 2010, 14:36

Got 18 Kmpl over a 200 Kms stretch of road. With AC on 75% of the time.

I think all 1600 cc cars give more or less the above average. My SX4 too gives 10 kms/L in city and around 14 Kms/L on highways with 100% ac on.

My Chevy Beat is really beating me in FE figures, max of 12 with mixed AC and Highway drives with average throttle.

ANHC, first 400 kms
Mileage- 30 L for 405 kms, about 13.5
Driven with 70% AC + defogger and all within city. Max speed about 85.
Sure to get about 14 once second service is done

Last april when i went to RTO office, i came across a diesel 800, the diesel engine sourced from diahatsu. This owner told me he is getting an (astonishing) 35 kmpl.

I have come across diahatsu diesels in omni giving 30 km+ so i think this cannot be so much far from the truth.

m_upreti · 10th July 2010, 11:07

Latest for my Scorpio driven entirely in the city. No AC

Tankful to Tankful 12.8 KMPL

I would also like to know when exactly the low fuel indicator lits up?

The low fuel indicator lits-up with roughly 8ltrs fuel in tank. This is assuming the tank capacity to be 35L. Once i ran 2 kms after low fuel warning and the tank-full gulped 27.xx liters. I don't think the tank capacity is more than 35L. One thing is for sure though, the fuel gauge is not linear. In a linear gauge each quadrant would mean 9lts in i10. Yesterday the needle was pointing to middle of last quadrant - means there should be roughly 5ltrs of fuel. But tank-full only took 25.2 ltrs.

Civic-AT, 17.7 kmpl (660kms with 37 litres)

LithiumSunset · 17th July 2010, 22:36

Almost 90% in the Delhi crawl, (no, actually its got better now, honestly!) Maybe 10% of the above on Greater Noida expressway, AC always on, my red bread box (2001 Wagon R) gives me 13.9 km per Litre

Santro Xing XL 2005 (second-hand)

Location: 100% City (Mumbai - Andheri East/Vile Parle East)
AC: 85% on (put it off when it gets too cold on setting 1, switch it on when it gets warm)
Commute: 5-6 kms one way to the office, 50% bumper to bumper traffic.
Driving style: Sedate. Switch it off at long traffic lights (after reaching engine operating temperature), and upshift at 10, 20, 40 and 50kph)
Mileage: 10.87 kmpl (tankful method using auto-cutoff, at the same pump)

Tracked on fuelly.com (Anoop's Santro (Hyundai Santro) | Fuelly)

I am trying to improve the mileage, but don't seem to have luck. The Modi Hyundai engineer was able to extract 15+kmpl on a 19km drive in Saturday traffic with 100% AC.

Any tips or hands-on observation/tution would be very welcome.
