These are the pics of mileage I got while coming to office (extremely sorry for bad pics)

At 8:41 a.m near akshardham. [12.9 KMpl]

At 8:43 a little ahead near nizamuddin bridge [13.3 Kmpl]

IMG00154-20120426-0844.jpg

I am surprised how it got increased by 0.4 kmpl within two minutes.
Next one was on barapula: [14.1 kmpl]

IMG00157-20120426-0853.jpg

This one is when I stopped at office, Bhikaji Cama place [14.2 Kmpl]

The traffic was relatively smooth today. But I faced bumper to bumper in near Indira puram. So, 30% highway and 70% city like conditions I got the above mileage. I hope it goes on improving..

Hi,

That's quite low considering the fuel average of my friends Petrol Polo, is this spirited drive or you drove light footed :)

Hope you had taken all these pics when your car is not in motion.

Damn, I thought its decent. If I had traveled some more distance, it would have increased no doubt, but I had to stop for office.[:)]

I am extremely sorry buddy, I took them while on the move. I thought it was better to slow down a bit and take the pics rather than pull over on busy roads which would have disturbed the traffic more

If that is the case then i request you buddy to refrain yourself from doing that in future for your and others safety. I believe you will take my request in good faith.

He is getting 17 kmpl in city with 100% AC no highway figures available as he still have to hit the highway, did you checked fuel efficiency via tank full to tank full method.

17 kmpl is too good, though I doubt he is getting this mileage constantly in city.

Yep seriously it was also shocking for me, but he checked this twice from tank full to tank full method, other Polo petrol owner on this forum please confirm your Polo fuel average too.

Do you remember Poloman also posted his fuel average pic?

I guess it was above 17 kmpl.
Lets see if I manage to get this average by driving more sanely.

Rightnow i noticed a interesting thing ARAI approved figure for Polo petrol is 17.24 kmpl and Volkswagen claims that the Polo Petrol is capable of a fuel economy of 15.26 kmpl.

I think average fuel consumption for Polo petrol would be between 15-16kmpl depending upon the traffic and individual driving habit what say?

ARAI claimed is 17.24 and your friend is getting 17
"False Advertising"
Polo petrol is capable of 15-16 in highways and in city conditions with 100 percent AC do not expect anything above 12 .
BTW 12-13 is a good one in city traffic

I havent got a figure of 17 kmpl yet as I havent exclusively driven on highways. For city driving 17 is almost impossible, even 15 is also hard to attain. But still smooth driving definitely improves FE.

You posted a pic showing 17.6 kmpl few days back- what were the % of highway and city if you remember.
