We just took break for just 15min at KOVILPATTI for breakfast. We were cruising at a avg speed of 110 KMPH throughout which was set in the cruise control. Since it was day time, we did not face any rush in the toll. We had some snacks for lunch. We made it in 10 hours with ease. [clap]

Mileage was 19.5 in tank full method.

That is great mileage from the Zest! What was your cruising speed on an average? Was the car fully loaded and how was the total experience? Including driving comfort and overall passenger comfort throughout the journey?

Hi Hari, Thanks! I had already shared the driving experience in my ownership thread. Anyways, 3 people on board and i was totally satisfied with the ride. My mother was sitting at the back seat and she had no issues at all and was very much happy with the ride. The cruising speed was 70km/hr and the top speed achieved was 90km/hr.

I was happy with the mileage (please remember its diesel) because had to encounter lots of potholes/broken roads and a huge traffic jam @Alleppey during both journeys (30min & 45mins respectively)
