Fuel Efficiency
I bought the car last year in around September from Spinny, Altroz XZA with Sunroof. I have driven around 15,000 kms so far. During first few months, average Fuel Efficieny was around 9-10 kmpl. I started driving mindfully, and by January I was getting around 12kmpl. I measure tank to tank.
From March onwards, I am able to squeeze in around 14.5-15 kmpl. From May-26 mid, I the efficiency increased further to 16.5kmpl.
Today after refilling, I got 19 kmpl. The time from when I started being mindful, I have driven 9.6k kms and overall efficiency is around 13.5 kmpl.
Changes that I made -
- Fixed the petrol pump. I make sure to refill from the same petrol pump.
- Avoiding unnecessary acceleration and sudden braking. I am soft with the pedal.
- I monitor the instant fuel efficiency, I make sure that the Instant efficiency is atleast around 15- 20/25 out of 30 kmpl.
- I engage cruise control at Expressway. My daily route is from Paschim Vihar, Delhi to Sec-62, Noida, I leave a bit early and take the Outer Ring Road towards, Bye-Pass, Kashmiri Gate and then to Mathura expressway. Get down at Khoda Underpass and move towards Sec-62. At Mathura Expressway, I maintain Cruise control at 70kmph. Sometimes, I also take India Gate - Pragati Maidan Tunnel - Mathura Expressway route - result is same.
The post is for the people out there who feel that the car gives poor mileage.
Also, I am open to suggestions from people who are able to get better efficiency.
