The scale will not be linear in most of the vehicles. Keep a tab on the full tank to full tank figures to get accurate FE figues. | |

Thanks. Very true about the fuel lid. On the Figo every time you pull the knob under the seat the fuel lid covers opens fully with a spring so they could easily have avoided the notch on the lid. Follow me Home headlights is the feature where the park lights stay on for around 10 seconds every time you open/lock the central locking. This gives you some light in front of the car. Really useful feature at night.  Quote:

Would be interesting to know the kind of driving you did. If its full highway running condition with sedate driving i think its possible. Anyways do update us on mileage figures, driving conditions and driving style. Another 2 Mileage Updates Full City Driving with around 85% a/c and trying to maintain close to 2K rpm most of the time : Around 13.8km/l Full Highway driving over 2 days visiting 2 places. Covered 400km. Both times the onward journey was with gear changes at around 2.5-3k rpm since i was trying to reach my destination as early as possible. Nothing close to sedate driving. The drives back on both occasions where more or less normal sedate driving. She took in 25.8 litres of diesel giving me: Around 15.5km/lLast edited by gemithomas : 26th June 2010 at 12:24. | |||||

| Yes i am aware of the fact half tank is not the way to measure it. Ill let you guys know the figure in 2 - 3 days. But i am atleast expecting it to run around 680-700 KM. Driving is 100% city with 100% AC which includes peak hour traffic and in evening wandering around here and there. 32PSi in all tyres. Upshift at 2000 RPM and keeping the car between 1500-2000 rpm in all gears. Downshifting as soon as the RPM drops to 1300. No hard acceleration for now. Will be pushing it this Sunday to 3000 RPM. (Red line a day keeps the carbon away)  |

| BHPian | Got the first service done today. Bill 1183/-. After the oil change, oil filter change, wash and polishing, drove her out and found myself facing the SQUEAKY problem from the rear left. The car was washed from below with full water pressure. Maybe this resulted in grease being washed out from the rubber gasket. Will get it greased and update whether the sound vanishes or not. And yes its really IRRITATING !!  |

| BHPian | Putting of the pics of the chiller/thirsty A/C compressor. Really hits the fuel efficiency but I am happy since I don't have to sweat in this hot and humid weather like hyundai i20 customers (Weak Hyundai i20 air-conditioner. EDIT : Test results on pg. 4).  |

| Senior - BHPian | A new Find Quote:

A new find Not sure if you guys know this already but to me it was a new find. Ever since i got the car i had been wondering what that hole was doing there.  Last time i gave her a wash i fiddled around that area and found out this.  Very helpful when you want to put down the seat and dont want the seat belts to come on the way. And here is one after the wash. Not so good a pic. But still.  | ||

| Gave my car for service with ODO reading at 2415. The car has done 2500KM now. I got my car back from the first service. I had my windshield replaced. Some really tiny stones fell on it and cracked the windshield. Claimed Insurance. Total charge for the windshield, rubber parts, sealant and labour - 7250 Insurance paid about 5300. Rest I had to pay from my pocket. My first service bill was 966. Which included OIL and OIL filter change. I complained about the squeak, the SA said he will take a look at it. When I got the car back the squeak was still there but it was better. Later when I went to refuel I checked the air pressure, Brilliant people at ford service had reduced the tyre pressure to 23PSI on all 4 tyres! ! I got filled back to 30PSI and the squeak was back with all its glory! I will upload pics and update my thread once power comes back. |

Gemi you rock - only today I remove those plastic covering and had to fold the seats. Was wondering why those slots were there. I wasnt so careful and got grease all over the seat belts. Now I know where to keep those belt buckle plugged. | |
