Real-world fuel efficiency of my 2023 MG Hector: City & highway figures

I'm not an enthusiast who zig zags and revs without any reason or rather accelerates just to break hard after a fraction of a second.

BHPian manpreetsj recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

The first full tank gave 10.58/L: used in the city 80%, with intermittent AC in the month of Feb/early March. Includes 100 km of Jim Corbett trip - Highway portion improved overall avg.

The next one gave 8.53/L: Jim Corbett trip in which good highway patch gave 11.5-12/L and poor rather worst patches gave 6.5-7. Both are almost 50:50. With AC.

The next 2 refuellings gave 7.25/L: 100% city drive with AC, with ~10 km trip per run, a speed of 20-27 km/h. I would say this is the worst I can get from this car in a peak utilisation scenario. Includes waiting inside the car with the engine on and AC full-blown in the Delhi heatwave for 30mins while the wife is busy shopping!

I drive normally, as I used to drive my previous car. I'm not an enthusiast who zig zags and revs without any reason or rather accelerates just to break hard after a fraction of a second. I don't compromise by making a conscious effort of keeping a light foot.

Separately on AC controls, I just love how easy it is to manage it with voice commands. Once you get used to it, even if knobs were there, I wouldn't have used it 99% of the time.
