@Satish
For first few months, the engine does give slightly less value. After 1st service or second service, the mileage should improve. Also try to be easy on accelerator pedal while driving, it will improve the mileage.

I got an i10 auto one month back, wanted an auto transmission for a long time… was waiting to enjoy the city drive… No doubt the drive is amazing I am really enjoying . but the downside is the car is giving only 6 to 7 kms mileage in city , haven’t tried highway…
All the tips have been tried still same mileage … Called the service people -got to hear from them all cars gives low mileage first 2000 kms .. is it true or suggest any else to be done.

sir,u r a very intelligent person i m sure of that,another thing is that i exactly think same things bt u have given more points THNX i have a maruti 800(1995) and u vil nt believe its mileage touches sky. u know when i see a toll plaza sign before 1 km i put my car to neutral and it just reach there easily if speed is even 40km AND MANY THINGS LIKE THAT

I REGULARLY USE TO GREASE MY FRONT TYRE BEARINGS TWO EACH SIDE(total 4) AND THIS ADDS A LOT TO MILEAGE AND REDUCES NOISE IN THE CABIN

THANX DRIVE SAFE

ideally it won’t make any difference, it only puts some additional load on car battery which does get charged from engine’s power only, but the change is negligible.

@rohit
Will there be any change in fuel consumption if i switch the level of blower speed or fan of AC ?

Hi @mathew
while the information you shared is correct in most cases, but these speeds vary slightly based on different cars as gear ratios are different.

RECOMMENDED SPEED FOR EACH GEAR

Friends my ride is Wagon r 2010 model and follow this if you need better mileage for your car.

1st Gear – 10-15km/hr

2nd Gear – 15-20km/hr

3rd Gear – 20-30km/hr

4th Gear – 30-40km/hr

5th Gear – 40-60km/hr

Note.
While driving try to keep the speed constant between 50-60km/hr if possible.This range offers better fuel efficiency.
