The system shows the mileage of the car according to the average statistics of fuel consumption and it depends on several factors like, driving style, road traffic conditions, ...read more
tyre pressure etc. Driving at a certain speed requires you to be in the optimum gear for that speed. If this practice is not followed, it results in lower fuel economy as the engine runs in higher revs on lower gears. The correct gear for every speed is different for every car. Rapid acceleration from a stop will always require more effort from your engine than if you accelerate it gradually. Moreover, maximize the use of the 5th gear at speeds of more than 60kmph in order to minimize the load on your engine. In order to maintain good fuel efficiency, remember to minimize braking. This is because it takes the engine a lot of power to move from a stopped position and accelerate forward. Where possible, step lightly on the brakes and try to keep to keep the car moving whenever possible. Frequent and unnecessary gear changes also affect fuel efficiency so optimize your gear shifts to conserve fuel. Try to minimize the time you spend with your engine on idle. Do not keep your engine on idle for more than two minutes at a time. Avoid driving with your foot resting on the clutch pedal as this may cause clutch slippage. Clutch slippage is when you depress the pedal and then release it in order to maintain a fixed position when on a steep slope. Doing so results in increased fuel consumption and also premature clutch wear. A car takes time to accustom - the Engine, Piston, Fuel Lines all takes time to lubricate and initial mileage will be low. It generally takes upto 800 to 1000 kms for your car started to offer a better mileage. While at around 4000 - 5000 kms distance when covered, mileage will be at its best and will stabilize which even gets better on oil change at 7500 - 10,000 kms.
