Just hit 1,200 km on my i20 N Line N8 DCT. Getting 10.2 kmpl mixed—is this normal?

​I recently hit the 1,200 km milestone on my new i20 N Line N8 DCT. Right now, the app I use for logging all the refuelings is showing a mixed fuel economy of 10.2 kmpl (mostly a 60/40 split of city and occasional open ring-road driving).

​I’ve been filling up with regular 91 octane fuel since delivery. I’m not driving like a maniac, but I’m also not hypermiling—just keeping up with traffic.

​Is 10.2 kmpl expected during the initial break-in period? For those who have crossed 5,000–10,000 km, did your mileage improve after the first oil change?

​Also, does switching to 95 octane (like XP95) make a noticeable difference in the real-world FE and smoothing out the low-end turbo lag?

The N8 LED headlights are dangerously dim – Need upgrade advice!

Hey everyone, just picked up an N Line N8 DCT. Love the car, but the stock headlights are a major letdown. Honestly, it feels like the halogen fogs have more throw than the low beams.

​In the city, I’m getting outshone by Activas, and on a recent highway run, I didn't feel safe crossing 80kmph because the visibility was so poor. I ended up just tailing other cars to use their light path.

​Since the N8 has the integrated LED setup (not a simple bulb swap), what are my best options?

  1. ​Has anyone tried high-output LED Fog Projectors?

  2. ​Is there a way to align the stock reflectors better?

3.​Should I look into a total headlight retrofit?

​Looking for recommendations on brands or specific setups that worked for you. Thanks!
