Wow that's really great mileage but its doable cause just last week i reset my meter on motorway and starting driving at roughly 95km/hr (1.8 corolla altis auto) there were three person in car with a/c running and the average milage which i was getting was around 17 km/litre according to car after 120 km distance .....that was before entering the city....however the milage dropped drastically to about 14 once u go above 100.....So the key is to keep speed constant with speed under 100km/hr for fuel economy and avoid hard acceleration ......but this is great avergae never the less for city ....how much do u get usually inside city what is your car manual ?

Today I'll go back to Rawalpindi and I am planning to get up to 30 KM/L today by trying some of the new things I learnt this week.

dont tell me...30 Kms/L....oh cool maaannnn:o

ok waiting anxiously to see your test

all you do is about long drive

what average you get in city?

17 Kpl on Altis Automatic is SUPER AWESOME! Trust me! You're a hypermiler yourself!

Your car must be having cruise control, right? Because if it does, you must make use of it, it saves a lot of fuel. Set the speed to 95 or something and then check out the average you're getting at the end of the journey.

My car is a manual one. When I was buying I really wanted a manual one because of a better resale value and sporty nature of manual transmission. But later I found out that its a good for getting optimal mileage as well!

That entirely depends on the type of roads I drive within the city. Generally the average I get is around 16 - 18 kpl. Which I believe is good. Because my alto used to give about 135 Kilometers in 500 rupees of CNG (local). And this average turns out to be 125 KMs in 500 rupees of Petrol.

I don't drive above 60 in local. On the express way the speed limit is 70. I drive at 70 on the Islamabad express way. Everywhere else, I try not to acceed 60. I keep the Air Conditioner at 1.

@poster
that was before entering the city....however the milage dropped drastically to about 14 once u go above 100.....

The last time I got 22.8 Kpl, it was including the distance traveled from Gulzar-e-Quaid to Motorway, and then from Motorway exit in Peshawar to badaber.

That's about 25 Kilometers each "within city."

yes that depends on road conditions and traffic flow...

i live in pindi...roads here are pathetic and traffic flow is worst.... frequent stops always keep me from getting good milage.. i get 12 kms/L on average

Sir on highway auto altis might be giving better average than manual there was a thread few months ago that manual altis achieves speed of 120 at higher rpm (i think around 3.4rpm) where as auto altis achieves 120 at 2.8 to 2.9 rpm ......also around 4 rpm it touches 140plus rather near 150km/hr ....

But off course manual car has better mielage inside city...
On motorway i frequently travel and fuel economy has been major issue for me ....i do set cruise control but it gets really really boring when u set speed of 95 or something like that and see every bus and car pass by u and after 30 mins u say enough of economy i am going to go on 120km/hr

more over on high ways many factor like direction of wind also matters

It may get 'boring' but trust me, if you do this a maximum of two times and see some drastic change in the mileage shown in the trip calculator, you will more attracted towards getting better numbers in the mileage calculator than overtaking everyone on the freeway.

Also, look at it like this: You can save 'thousands of rupees' by doing this.

I don't take hypermiling as 'fuel saving' ONLY. Rather, take it as fun. Shughal of getting the best mileage you can get by improving driving habits. If you consider the fact that speed 'wastes' fuel which can be used to travel more miles.

Also, by not driving at 120 and driving at 100 the time difference in your total commute will be of max 15 minutes. Its really psychological thing that you're going slow.
