Calculate vehicle mileage and efficiency
Mileage (kmpl) = Distance Traveled ÷ Fuel Used. Fill tank completely, note odometer, drive, refill completely, note liters. Divide km traveled by liters added. Repeat for accurate average.
Petrol hatchbacks: 15-20 kmpl. Petrol sedans: 12-16 kmpl. Diesel cars: 18-25 kmpl. SUVs: 10-15 kmpl. Hybrids: 20-25+ kmpl. Actual mileage is typically 10-20% less than ARAI certified figures.
ARAI figures are tested in ideal conditions. Real-world factors: AC usage, traffic, driving style, tire pressure, vehicle load, fuel quality, and maintenance. City mileage is typically 20-30% lower than highway.
Drive at optimal speeds (40-60 kmph in city, 80-100 on highway), anticipate traffic to avoid hard braking, use correct gear, maintain tire pressure, reduce idling, and service regularly.
Yes, 5-10% decrease over 50,000+ km is normal. Causes: engine wear, clogged filters, spark plug degradation. Regular servicing, timely oil changes, and using recommended fuel grade help maintain efficiency.
