hello brothers.can i increase the petrol millage of ALTO VXR 2010 from 10-11 km/l on highway to some reasonable figure. say 17-18 or 20i live in lahore. please advice best place to do that.
Edit: It is spelled as "Petrol", not "Patrol"
well alto uses a early 1980 obsolete technology carb based engine so the mileage u are getting on highway is okay considering within city it gives 8-9km/l. So its best to run alto on CNG.
you know what the showroom guy told me when impressing me with this car. he said that it would do 18km in the city
agreed, convert it to cng, as old carby engines wont give better milage
hey buddy r u getting door switch ??
Yes. Convert it to CNG
i dont agree, my alto gives 20 km/L on highways with AC...never noticed local consumption as i drive mostly on CNG... always drive on low RPMs
what do u mean?
Brother then u must tell me what did u do with your car to get this milage ? at whaat speed do u drive ?
strange. The other day even someone from suzuki 3s was telling me alto's petrol consumption is very high. As per my own experience also the car gives around 8 km/l per city. The car performs good on CNG however and can easily reach 140-150 km per one fill. And the ideal mileage of 18km/l in city is only achievable in those 660cc jdm cars.(if at all)
@aali-01i always change its spark plugs after 5000 kms... get it tuned regularly after every 3000 kms along with its oil change and keep the car at its stock tire size...nothing special than that
^that's a little bit too much maitenence, but it compensates for the mileage
yes.. may be its lil bit too much but not that much and i gues every car requires that lil bit maintenance
spark plugs after 5000 !!! wow man.....how much do they cost anyway? do u use stock plugs?
Strange. 8Km/L on a 1000cc car.I get the same mileage on my Cedric 3000cc V6.
u are making me much more worried now
^^dont worry bro, the car is decent on CNG. As far as petrol is concerned I have experienced similar mileage as well so its nothing unusual.
ali technically the most fuel efficient speed of alto is 60km/hour in fifth gear at very low RPM.I have santro and i am getting better average in city rather than motorway as 120km for 1000cc car is fuel killing speed.fuel average of each car is depend on the driving style of the driver one of my friend is getting a very good average on its steermatic as he drive it at 1000 to 1200rmp he is getting better average that motorway as on motor way he maintain 120km and rpm is on 2900 and he get 15km/L and while driving in city at 1200rpm max he is getting more that 20km/L so it all depend on ur driving style alto has high rpm engine and your alto is new drive it with light foot on accelerator and once ur Alto is bit open up i mean after 6000km it will give you better average.anyway good luck.

so you need to get it checked mate or ease off on the accelerator
i have seen video of a city doing 21km/L here on Pakwheels
