Maruti 800 Cc And Mini Van 650 Cc

[niro123]

Guys,,

After many years of using a japanese vehicle (starlet GT) i've switched to a maruti 800 cc simply cause of the fuel prices... I'm satisfied with the fuel consumption but not at all with the driving pleasure... Do any of you guys have experience in maintaining a mini van ( buddy van) as i would definitly like to get back to using a japanese vehilce..

The fuel efficiency

Maintenance

All this time i though that according to the Cylinder Capacity to Weight ratio the starlet would deifnitly be better in fuel... but i was wrong... Any comments guys

yes batta van is a NO NO... but machang shame about yout GT man... i would have loved to get my hands on one.. did u have the second generation one with the HID's lamps or the previous one.. anywayz u cant compare the two rides.. plus since it was a GT u cant possibly expect as much as a normal starlet.. but still u should have been able to get at least 12 to 13 km per liter with very low boost and modest driving... i am sure this would have been possible..
