Once I was driving my Wagon R VXL in second gear, when I met with a speed breaker on the road. As I put the breaks, the car slowed down in order to cross the speed breaker, but by mistake, I applied the 3rd gear, instead of 1st. The car suddenly stopped with the gear shift indicator light ON. This is what I have encountered till now, that is, if you slow down the car and apply a higher gear than what you are driving in, currently, the car stops with the gear shift indicator light ON.
Alhumdulillaah, the mileage of my Wagon R VXL has been rising day by day. Previously, it gave me around 14.7 KM/Liter (with 40% AC+60% driving during on-peak hours+40% driving during off-peak hours).
This time, I drove about 72 KMs with 4.5 Liters of petrol (and 80% AC+60% driving during on-peak hours+40% driving during off-peak hours), and the mileage turned around to be 72 / 4.5 = 16 KM/Liter.
