You are right brother and given good tips: Consumption issue is widely discussed in these days due to massive increase of fuel prices.
Fuel efficiency and mileage reported by different members, i think is based on their own judgment and having different CNG quality, quantity, driving habit and daily usage.
In my case i get usually 100-110KM in full tank (which fills around PKR 700 in these days) without AC with a 15-20KM daily use with 1-2 persons. It normally consumes one CNG tank in a week, which may be a basic culprit leading to low consumption i think.

The most important is that my usage in RED zone area, having congested traffic; entry and security check points etc which contribute to low mileage. When I visit to Rwp or other wider area then it gives around 130-140KM in one tank.

BUT on long routes, especially on motorway it gives 170KM on average speed of 120/130KM per hour, if a speed remains at around 100-110KM then it goes to 180/190KM per tank. Interestingly, when i go to Lahore from Islamabad on motorway at 100-110KM speed it gives 210-225KM in tank with 2-3 persons but on return it dropped to 170-180KM.
As per my knowledge its 1500cc car having quite heavy body which is basic reason for increased consumption if not cared properly for plugs, air filter, timely oil change etc......<o:p></o:p>
Hope you will not mind if i have deviated from technical parameters because usually i never intend to involve more in technical things which are not my area of specialty. The little i have learned and written is totally due to DFC thread, nicely put information by other DFC members;<o:p></o:p>
Lastly please allow me to launch an idea that may we have a G2G at any convenient time in Islamabad for interested DFC members. Regards: Zaigham<o:p></o:p>
