Yup, I've been practicing a bit - though its quite hard in SL

some of those techniques can kill you here

Personally I had some major fun with pulse and glide driving (but was too scared to swtich off the engine haha)*

http://metrompg.com/posts/pulse-and-glide.htm (for more on pulse and glide)

I can confirm that stuff works and incredibly so but I don't advocate turning off the engine entirely here in SL

Ultimately, driving style makes huge differences on fuel economy,

Not only did p&g save some fuel but it really puzzled my family members and confused the hell out of people behind me!

Vehical city area (km/l) outstations (km/l)

Suzuki swift 1.3l(auto) 14 16

SUUZUKI SWIFT , Unbelivable .

Yeah its unbelievable. My fathers car does around 11 kmpl in the city and only 13-14 kmpl outstation, even after a tuneup at A#W, very decent driving and many major services. Im referring to the squarer model swift (year 2004) right. So if any swift else in the world does around 14 kmpl in city then either I should check what that wonderful car is or I should hammer my car to death. :action-smiley-060:

toyota allion 2004 -outstation 9kmpl (and it's very annoying)

This may sound bit stupid but does the amount of fuel you put in have an effect on the efficiency of the VVTi engine? one of my mates got a 1.5l Allion and he only pump about Rs.1000 or 2000 worth of gas at a time. He told me that his MPG figures are nothing compared to what others are boasting? he’s a very sensible driver and he does the services at regular intervals.

yeh i think thats true not just for VVTi but all engines as a whole....i have noticed improved milage when i top up the tank n then keep toppin up when the meter hits half a tank as oppose to just pumping Rs 2000 bucks worth when the meter hits empty...but i dont have figures to prove it so its up for debate im sure.

[YALA]

i think our petrol and diesal quality mite be the cause of the reason a good two months back i was running on a bit of bad diesal which dropped my milage quite a lot...even few people i know agreed wit me about it this was soon after the hike in fuel price from 80 bucks to 110

[Jayathu]

After my first month of regular driving here are the results:

Primera P11 Camino

1.8L Petrol

In Colombo (Regular traffic, 3 people in car including driver):

Outstation (Colombo to Kalutara, 2 people including driver):

I guess the figures are acceptable enough for such a car

City

-----

95 octane (from IOC)

Yeah, its a 1500. To and fro to work usually. Mornings light/moderate traffic, evenings usually heavy traffic.

No passengers. It did 10.5 Immediately after i had the air filter cleaned...but back to normal after the next fill up.

" It did 10.5 Immediately after i had the air filter cleaned...but back to normal after the next fill up"

This is an interesting point. Guys, it seems we can improve the fuel efficiency by practicing a regular cleaning of the air filter. Easily,,, we can use the home vaccum cleaner to do it....I should try it.

My vios (A/T) does

9.4 km/l in the city. My daily route is peradeniya to kandy, get quite a traffic around the kandy lake. passangers: myself and my little one. i always try to keep the RPM less than 1500,
