What is your Actual Fuel Efficiency?

Abhi_abarth · 5th July 2012, 19:34

Here are the average fuel efficiency numbers returned on the two cars which I drive regularly. Fiat Uno which is owned by me and a Hyundai Santro of my cousin which I also use most of the times.

Car : Fiat Uno 1.2 Elx (Petrol)

FE : 14 KMPL
Usage : 100 % city traffic w/o Air conditioner

Car : Hyundai Santro xing eRLX

FE : 12 KMPL
Usage : 100 % city, 80% A/c

Ph03nix · 6th July 2012, 16:36

VW Polo TDI

FE - ~15.5 KMPL
Usage: 100% city traffic, 100 % AC

FE - ~21 KMPL
Usage: 100% highway, 100 % AC

Don't ask about the driveability though.

^^^We won't. It gets clear with a single TD.

Such a good looking hatch, only let down by the engine. If only it had the Vento's 1.6D or even something akin to the MJD.

Car : Hyundai i20 Crdi

FE : 16 KMPL
Usage : 100 % city traffic with Air conditioner

4TH year in a row ever since i started measuring empty to empty. 2006 Diesel Skoda Laura 1.9TDI Manual L&K Edition. 55ltrs, 980km making that an average of 17.82km/l driving in city conditions in New Delhi.

I get around 15 + oin MPFI zen , with AC it should be 2 kmpl less . But 95 % of the time it will be running without AC .

YC.BALENO.CHD · 15th July 2012, 22:05

2009 Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSi F fitted with bigger carb jets- 31 kmpl (combined use)

2010 Hyundai i10 1.1 iRDE- 16 kmpl (city)

2006 Maruti Baleno- 12 kmpl (city)

1997 Maruti 800 Non-AC- 16 kmpl (city)

I finally managed to get around 15.8kpl milage under city driving conditions after making some changes in my driving style. After the last tankful I made a consicous effort to drive at least 1 gear higher than I have been doing and got this milage. So no fast starts but then in Bangalore traffic whats the need of such tricks. Getting this milage for a 1.5 ton elephant is quite good

sourabhzen · 16th July 2012, 13:13

2008 Swift 1.3 vxi - 12.5 kmpl 100% city driving with 100% AC on
2010 Alto K10 Vxi - 13.5 kmpl 100% city with 100% AC on

ulhas.ahirrao · 16th July 2012, 15:53

mkpiyengar · 16th July 2012, 16:34

Ford Ikon TdCi
Highway + City (Mumbai-Pune)
Mileage : 23.3kmpl
Speeds; 120-140 on expressway.
No A/C (80%) A/C On(20%).

I think if i keep the speed in the range of 100kmph then it should easily give me 25kmpl

With A/C
Mileage: 18Kmpl. (Almost 5kmpl loss )!!!

Cheers

OT
MY actual FE (Food Efficiency) is 6 hrs. or 8 hrs.
Method of calculation : 24 hrs. in a day and Breakfast + Lunch + Evening Snack + Dinner
So total 4 meals in 24hrs give the FE of 6 hrs./meal. If by chance I miss any of these, the efficiency increases to 8 hrs./meal.

Now coming to my CAR's FE (Fuel Efficiency)

From last tankful : 11.65 KMPL
Method of calculating : Car's on-board computer with Trip meter reset to 0 at the fuel station.
Car : Linea T-Jet+
Driving : 100 in Goa i.e. 66.67% Highway 33.33% City
This includes one 150 km trip to Chorla Ghats. (60kms. on Ghat type roads)

FE during previous tankful to this : 12.5 KMPL (Post #3313)
