Hello all,

I recently took a journey to Mussoorie on my Hyundai Tucson Diesel AWD, and on a single full tank, I was able to manage the round trip. Here are some stats and pictures. Overall my trip included 65% Highway, 20% City, and 15% Hills. AC was ON the entire journey at 20C

1. Total Trip journey (Round Trip): 889.2Km
2. Total Fuel Cost: 5050/-
3. Total Toll: 1000/-
4. Avg FE: 16.4 km/l
5. Avg Speed: Highways 95km/hr City: 40km/h, Hills: 25km/h
6. Total People: 3
7. Luggage: 3 big trolley bags
8. Mode: Economy
9. Fuel Tank Capacity: 60L (54+6 Reserve) I guess

Cruise control was used 50% of the time on the Highway. During the downhill journey, I even noticed FE figures to around 70km/l (couldn't click the picture)

Overtaking on hills, and single-lane highways was a breeze. Overall, it was a very comfortable ride with a super silent, powerful, and refined engine, and I am confident on a pure highway trip Tucson can easily cross 1000 km on a single tank. I am impressed at the efficiency of such a powerful diesel engine from Hyundai.
