Did couple of trips in my XUV700 D AT: Performance, FE & other updates

I did a trip to Ranthambore with some dear friends of the Ford Endeavour group. This allowed us to sample the newly built section of the Delhi – Mumbai Expressway.

Captured on DSLR:

A bird dropped by to say hello...

…and another got stuck on the return journey (still can’t imagine how it went through the gap in the lower grill):

The worst FE captured all thanks to continuous climb on the way to Nainital:

Parked peacefully on another level:

The decent from Nainital recuperating the losses:

Note: Zip mode was used only to capture the stats.
