I recently bought a Suzuki Swift 2008 model (Auto gear, used unregistered). Fuel consumption is around 6.8 in colombo and outstation is around 10. I heard that it does around 10 in colombo and 14 outstation. Can anyone please guide me what should I do to rectify this problem?

Thanks

Even though it is 1300 CC that car is not good in fuel,it will do maximum 11-12 on outstation on very careful driving. :)

thanks

I have a Swift 2005 model, auto gear. It does around 10 km/lt outstation. To me its too low for a 1300 cc small car. I did engine tune-up but it is still the same.I think this is maxium you can get.

Don't think so. My friend has a Swift 1200 cc and it does some 12 odd in the city.

This is not a fiction, last week I went to Bandarawela and return to Badulla, in this trip it done 11-12 km/L

I forget to tell, fuel is 95 Octane

Chill dude!...16KMPL IS possible ofcourse.But it'd have to be a drive in th wee hours of the morning with no stoppages and pin-point accurate gear shifts all the way....unfortunately in the real everyday world we live in an underpowered,4WD and automatic petrol car achieving those figures is virtually impossible.please don't misguide the members who may be seeking genuine advice. :)

If this is gonna be a family car that regularly takes 3-4 people around, I suggest you stop worrying about the fuel consumption other ppl get and just enjoy the car. Practice smooth driving, do your maintenance, and unless its giving you a ridiculous number like 5kmpl, don't worry.

Hey! Some of us consider 5 KM/L a pretty respectable figure! :P

Back to the original question, what are the steps I have to take in order to increase the fuel efficiency?

Discussed quite a few times around here.

I believe the best suggestion was "keep the car at home and take the bus"

It might not be a problem with the car itself. As Peri said, fuel efficiency techniques have been discussed before. Try them out and determine whether it's a mechanical problem or your driving style.

Or... take a bus... :)
