Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Should I use company-claimed mileage?
Use your real-world mileage, which is usually 10-20 percent lower than the tested figure, especially in city traffic.
How do I find my car's actual mileage?
Fill the tank full, note the odometer, drive normally, refill full again - litres refilled divided into km driven is your true mileage.
Does AC change fuel use?
Yes, AC typically raises consumption by about 5-15 percent depending on the car and weather.
Can I use this for diesel or CNG?
Yes for petrol and diesel. For CNG, enter mileage in km per kg and price per kg instead.
