BHPian RijuC<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Thanks to the G20 summit, we NCRites got to Work from Home for 2 days – 7th and 8th September. And that gave us a good window to revive that Work from Mountains again. Two weeks ago, we had a weekend trip and then the first service was completed after 1000 km running, exactly on day 31 from purchase. This time, it was Dalhousie+Khajjiar in Himachal Pradesh. This region was a little less affected by recent cloudbursts and landslides.<\/p>\n We started from Gurgaon home exactly at 02:30 AM on 7th September and in no time touched NH44, thanks to tight security and traffic restrictions in Delhi. Stayed in HPTDC Dalhousie (not recommended for stay). The first tankful was at Panipat. Before climbing the hills, did a tankful once again at Pathankot. FE was 407 km\/ 24.57 litre= 16.56 km\/l (with AC).<\/p>\n The next 2 nights were spent at HPTDC, Khajjiar. The view of Khajjiar meadow from the room was heavenly. We roamed around Khajjiar and went to Kalatop (3 km Kuchha road after the Khajjiar forest entry point).<\/p>\n However, Jimny returned dismal FE for these local trips – between 6 and 8 km\/l. I am adjusting my driving style and learning how to drive Jimny in the most efficient way.<\/p>\n In the return leg, we stopped at Beeji’s Park for a photo session with the T-55 tank, the fighter jet and missiles, and a couple of combat spec Gypsies. Got the best fuel efficiency for the stretch from Beeji’s park to Dunera (for lunch break); 42 km, 18.4 kmpl; with AC off for 50% of this distance.<\/p>\n The next stop was at Haveli, Jalandhar; the distance covered 160 km, FE shown was 15.8 km\/l.<\/p>\n Then I had to refuel at Indo Canadian bus service, Focal Point, Ludhiana. Distance covered from Haveli was 55 km, and FE was 15.9 km\/l. The total tank-to-tank distance was 408 km @33.54 litre, tank-to-tank calculated FE was 12.16 km\/l. Almost 50% of this distance was in hills (with AC for 60% of the distance in hills).<\/p>\n Next stop was at Haveli, Ambala. Distance covered = 110 km, FE shown was 15.9 km\/l.<\/p>\n I had to take a bio-break at Bhagan toll plaza. Distance covered=138 km, FE shown=17.1 km\/l.<\/p>\n At last, we reached home at 02:30 AM, distance covered= 90 km, FE on ICE= 16.9 km\/l.<\/p>\n The total distance covered from the last refuelling point is approximately 340 km, and the remaining tank range is 230 km. Let’s see how it runs within the city.<\/p>\n I am attaching the ICE display photographs and Jimny in Hills.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n
