BHPian s2K_scorpioN <\/strong>shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Proud owner of a Deep Forest Scorpio-N petrol.<\/p>\n Thought I’d share fuel figures.<\/p>\n My MID has been pretty accurate (on the highway), I’m talking within 0.2 Kmpl, give or take.<\/p>\n City:<\/strong><\/p>\n 8-9 kmpl on average, comfort driving, tank to tank. A novice foot got around 7.34 Kmpl (tank to tank over approx 70 km in the city. I can milk the MID upto 10.5 Kmpl with a very judicious foot, even 11.5 without the a\/c – these figures are per trip, not tank to tank. This is Hyderabad traffic, with occasional standstill traffic, bumper to bumper at most congestion points with a decent flow. With really bad traffic, I believe I’d still be getting 6.5-7.<\/p>\n Highway:<\/strong><\/p>\n Average speed around 110 kmph – 9.5-10.5 Kmpl (this was when the engine was pretty fresh, no cruise control). Approx 500 km on the odo. (9.5 with a heavier foot, 10.5 going easy on the hard acceleration).<\/p>\n city–>highway–>village, even distribution, about 11.2 Kmpl.<\/p>\n At this point I started experimenting with cruise control.<\/p>\n Cruise control set to 93-97 kmph yields a fuel economy of 11.9 – 12.2 Kmpl. Didn’t bother going any slower. Didn’t bother going any faster either – my mileage foot was doing a better job at higher speeds.<\/p>\n My advise, redline your engines, not once or twice – run through the gears on a weekly basis, break in your engines. I’ve only been able to go at it hard myself on 3 different occasions on the ORR, but it is healthy for a new engine, trust me.
