The MID seemes to be grossly overestimating the fuel efficiency of the car.<\/h2>\n

BHPian haridsv<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Here is my quick review with the hope that others find some useful tidbits (sorry, no pictures, but there are plenty out there anyway).<\/p>\n

I got my ZX CVT Materiod Grey delivered on 1\/11 with 17km on the odometer. On my way home, I filled the tank at an HP bunk. However, I noticed at the time of payment that they had filled the premium version without asking me. My Figo is diesel, and I’m not accustomed to seeing different qualities offered, so I didn’t pay attention to this. On the next day, I had a short city drive and observed a maximum of 12.4kmpl on the MID.<\/p>\n

We took the car for a weekend drive from Hyderabad to Vijayawada (3 people with light luggage), covering about 670km back and forth. I initially limited the speed to 85kmph, and observed that the MID peeked at 18.4kmpl. Later, I turned on cruise control (set to 90), but by that time the traffic increased. This made the cruise control less effective but I continued using it.<\/p>\n

After reaching our destination, the mileage on MID decreased a little to 18. Though I am sure increased traffic had a role to play, I feel ACC made it worse (see below). The actual mileage at the time of the next fill turned out to be just 15.75 (520.3km for 33.04l), so the MID seemed to be grossly overestimating.<\/p>\n

I actually used premium petrol so I wonder what my mileage would have been with regular petrol. On the return journey, the traffic was heavy, but I pushed it a little harder to reach 100kmph whenever possible. At the end of the trip, the trip mileage was 677.6km with 16.7kmpl on the MID, so I expect the actual mileage to be less.<\/p>\n

Overall, we enjoyed the drive, and it brought back my memories of driving a 2004 Camry automatic in the US (not sure if it was CVT). What I loved the most<\/strong> about the car:<\/p>\n

I purchased the following accessories from the dealer after studying the recommendations here:<\/p>\n
