Hi guys.

Here is another fun thread, which will be definitely useful for those looking for cars in India.

In this thread, you can post your worst ever mileage ever recorded (Tankfull figures, No MID readings please) by you in your car. We all know the average FE figures which owners achieve, the maximum figures and the ARAI figures but I have often seen people fret over low FE figures after making their purchases; after expecting decent FE figures as given by owners and ARAI. This thread will give them an idea on what the car expect AT LEAST from their cars, no matter how they drive. They can simply use the Thread Search function, enter the name of the car they're looking at, and get information about lowest FE figures instantly. The basic format shall be -

Fuel Efficiency
Car
Distance
Usage


So let your FE figures roll in! Starting from my own experience -

Fuel Efficiency : 9.75 kmpl
Car : Swift Vxi (2009, 1.3L)
Distance : Measured over 270 kms
Usage : 100% AC, within city, lots of redlining

For newbies, FE = Fuel efficiency/economy.

MODS - Please move to "Member's Lounge" is not fit here.

Fiat UNO. Diesel : It always gave me FE of 20 to 22 kmpl, The other day in year 2003 it passed over a bump, and due to low GC oil sump got the hit.

FE - 5 KMPL.[shock] 200 km.

I needed to replace the oil sump, (total damage - equal to my monthly salary in those days.:eek:
