Here is mine

Octavia 1.9 TDI : City 12-14 kmpl Highway 18-19 kmpl

Insane Devil · 29th June 2005, 12:24

Santro city/highyway 13/15
Ikon city/highway 10/13

CJ 340

Highway - 13

Contessa (Isuzu 4F G1)
City - 9 (AC) to 11 (Non AC)
Highway - 16 (AC) to 17 (Non AC)

Accent GLS, returns between 10-13 almost religiously with the lower limit indicating city and upper limit indicating highway. The family is now in India and so we've hired a safe and steady old uncle as a driver temporarily - my wife claims the old man's sedate driving is returning 15kmpl on the highway regularly, tankful to tankful. I find it hard to believe, but hey I've always been an impatient driver...

Most fuel efficient car driven is the Smartie which returns > 300 kms to every 3.5 gallon refill, which is regularly over 20 kmpl and I drive it like one would drive a go-kart - no holds barred.

EDIT: All figures with A/c on all the time.

Vikas Mawandia · 15th July 2005, 02:54

C-class gives 10 - 12 km/l

Skoda Octavia gives 12-14 km/l

Opel Vectra gave around 8.5 - 10 km/l

Honda CR-V A/T give 5 - 6 km/l

nikibusa · 15th July 2005, 03:27

My Pulsar 150 classic gives me around 50kmpl at an average speed of around 60kmph.And my Indica delivers around 16-18 kmpl under average 60-70 kmph again.

ritik123 · 15th July 2005, 14:42

My Baleno gives 11.5 in city with 100% A/C usage. On Regular petrol, average kms per day :40

Hi,

Since we are talking about FE, had a question

What is the "sweetspot" when the maximum fuel efficiency can be achieved? People talk about 70-95kmph being the range where almost all cars achieve highFE ratios.Know this question does not apply when driving in the city (Esp.in Bangalore).Actually remember reading a post by Rudra where he says it pains, when it comes to watching a beautiful citygoin to Dogs. very true indeed!

FE figures for my cars
Corolla- 8 kmpl (City)/ 10 kmpl (HWY)
Lancer (P)- 10 kmpl(City) / 14 kmpl (HWY)

Cheers

I would say drive at 40 in 5th Gear...all the Mileage rally winners never even exceed 50. On the other hand...you really do require some patience to do that.

Buffetfan · 16th July 2005, 00:54

Maruti 800 (4 gear) : 80-100 KMPH highway : 19KMPL
Maruti 800 : city : 15 KMPL
Fiat Uno 1.2 Petrol : @60-80 KMPH, Highway, Use AC only if about to catch a sun stroke : 20.2 KMPL (Did not repeat the feat too many times :-) )
Fiat Uno 1.2 Petrol : @100-140 KMPH highway, avg 120 : 14-16 KMPL
Baleno : (only 900 KM Old) City Driving : 12 KMPL (I am told that the mileage will go to 14-15 by time I do 10 K by the workshop guy...dont believe him :-) )

satan_crazy · 16th July 2005, 09:49

Maruti 800 (a very old one) gives me 15 kmpl in city with xtra premium.
Baleno, fairly new - done abt 200 km so far, gives me abt 11.5 kmpl in city with 91 octane and a/c on all the time. Haven't had time to get onto the highway as yet.
by the way, i haven't been able to rip the car (baleno) beyond 110 kmph (probably because of the lack of road space in bangalore); but, at about 100 kmph, the engine cries out loud (it sounds as if am driving a bajaj chetak in 2nd gear at 40-50 kmph). is it because its a new car? (it handles very well at that speed though)

speedsatya · 16th July 2005, 19:36

just got 22kpl in my mpfi zen in the city .
yeah its inside city from vashi to mulund and back through the eastern express highway an dkeeping a limit of 1500 rpm i.e 40-60kph without ac.

and i feel this can be improved upon as i have to get my injectors cleaned and my decarbonsing is due.

even with my speedo error due to lesser OD tires ,this figur eis good as i have wider 165 tires.

MexXxentric · 16th July 2005, 21:50

I get an over all milage of 13kmpl on my Palio sport(1.2) with 70% AC

Driving pattern- maintains the engine>3000rpm in most occcations.

Are you considering taking up a job with Overdrive? They will come down hunting for you if they happen to read this.
