Mileage/Average/Fuel Economy(FE)

Thanks so much sAuMiL.

Well we all talked about the mileage but no one spoke about the fuel they are using in their car, i am using BP Hi- Speed diesel. r u guys using the regular diesel

I am using BP - regular diesel.

I am back and I used an average of 7,2 ltrs per 100 kms
this is a great result and the car had lots of power in reserve all the time .and dont forget I drive on the European super highways so I cannot drive too slow
Stu

In the countryside you can achieve 6.6 ltrs per 100 km
just do not go above 2000 RPm when you change up and the same down
But you can use 5th gear with very low revs Ie 2000rpm will work but if you need to accelerate just do a BLOCK change into 3rd and you will be OK
My car is the 14 MPI Euro 4

I suspect you will still be using the 14 MPI Euro 3 in India But there is no difference in economy

Use this chart to find out your Ltrs per 100 km
Stu

A 14 MPI must be about 14km per ltr this will give you approx 7 Ltr per 100 km

Yea!
Its really kewl our car can stretch that much!
M a Proud Loganizer

I dont want to burst your bubble but that was a special Logan
competing in a fuel ecconomy competition a lot lighter an less w3ind resistance and driven by proffesionals
but the logan does have a good fuel ec for its size

I dont quite agree completely with the writer there! I know quite a few people who took the Mileage Run and no one quite agrees to wat he has written! Ne ways! Everyone has a right to speak! There are people who have drawn 35+ with their Diesel Logans! AUTOCAR & OVERDRIVE who are independent Publishing houses have taken the Logan for a ride and Branded it 'INDIAS MOST FUEL EFFICIENT CAR', even they got about 33-35KMPL i know 42 is a bit unbelievable but i dont think Mahindra would drop to cheap tactics like not filling the full tank to fake gr8 mileages!! Hard to Believe!!!

I would say that for a diesol 20KMPL is realistic
and for a 14 mpi is around 14to 16KMPL
this is what I get on thye autobahn and town
stu

Yea if we talk about realistic figures, i agree! I got about 22-23 KMPL on my last trip without any AC cuts or speed cuts! We are talkiong about Mileage Runs and anythings possible here!

Well my car has done 4500 kms, gone though 2nd service, was getting 19 kmpl earlier with super diesel on speeds of 60-65 without ac, will check what i get now

In summer when AC is on all time and from tank full to another tank full, driven in city and highway both, my logan is now giving average of 22-23 kmpl. The same was giving 28-30 kmpl during winters AC off and windows closed. Same gave me 32 kmpl once when I did not cross 1500 RPM drove lightly and smooth acceleration. Mileage totally deends on driving style. But if you are getting 20 kmpl also, its gud because no other big car can give that avg.

hey guys....
got an avg of 26 wid a/c on...........
travelled 600 kms in just 23.2 lts................
awesum mileage...
juss luv it..............

well according to pix i have got a mileage of 34.7
but juss 4 few kms........

That is 4,3 ltrs per 100km and that is a good consumption and some good driving I would say that you have been keeping below 110kmh
keep it up you are doing your thing for the enviroment and your pocket
Stu

LOGAN IS A GOOD BUY

I don’t have DTE. But i believe it should easy to find out the number of litters in available in the tank, based on the number of bars left. But these bars don’t seem to be proportional, the first bar disappear after 10 Kms, second one lasts little longer than 10 kms.



Has one calculated how many liters of fuel left after disappearance of each bar? Is it available in manual?

there is a setting on the computer you just keep on pushing the reset on the blinker and you will see the Tank Kilometers ave speed all that stuff



Stu

That feature is not available in the model i have that is 1.4 GLX, in India those features are available only in higher end mode of 1.6

Pity though you can use a program by connecting a laptop to the coms port in the glove compartment I have the program but its in rumanian
Stu

Hi stu, hope all is well with you.

I am interested in using the program. It may be in romanian, but I suppose its the figures we are actually interested in. The (few) bits of text we can probably decipher.

How did u solve the problem of getting a connector to interface between the Computer and the socket in the glove compartment?



=========

I was complaining of getting of getting only 7.5 - 8.6 kmpl [11.6 - 13L per 100km] - with A/C on.

Well, today the Service Workshop did a formal road mileage test. The technical person drove my Logan 1.4L Petrol after filling the tank to the brim (literally) and drove in my normal traffic-ridden city conditions. He achieved a mileage of 11.3kmpl [8.85L per 100km] which was really good in crowded city conditions with A/C on.

[test drive was 30km in normal city traffic, with bad traffic jams, slow moving traffic, etc. He used 2.67L of plain unleaded petrol]

His method was to drive with absolutely minimal gear change, minimal braking, shift to 5th gear at 45kmph ... maintain 60kmph only and no more keeping tacho at 1500 to 1700rpm

My earlier driving style was to get to 5th gear revving the tacho upto 2000 to 2400 and keeping a max speed of 75 to 80kmph.

I am happy with the good mileage he managed to get in my car, but having to maintain 60kmph sucks.

Discovered this today.
This is for those of us who dont have the top-end GLS/DLS models
We CAN get a numeric display of the Litres of fuel left in the tank.

Get into Instrument Panel Diagnostic mode
HOW?
1. Switch OFF engine
2. Press the CLOCK/TRIP button
3. Keeping button pressed, turn ignition key to turn on Instrument Panel
4. Keep the button pressed till you enter diagnostic mode (Tacho and Speedo will move in steps)
5. Press CLOCK/TRIP button for display check (all LCD segments will display)
6. and lo and behold on the next click there is a number (mine reads 42 L)

When I discovered this, the reading was 45 L, so I wasn't sure if it was going to show in increments of 5.
But after driving for a bit it read 43 and then 42.

I could see that I was at exactly 3000KM on the odometer (another milestone passed for my car!) and the Fuel read 43L, now at odometer 3013km Fuel turned from 43 to 42L ...ie 13 kmpl NOT BAD AT ALL

So I can get a kind of indication as to my fuel consumption and mileage without having to fill petrol
And this is SO MUCH MORE ACCURATE than the Fuel Bars Indicator

Also noted: Fuel Far indicator goes from Full Tank to one notch less at 43L remaining in tank

(Still, I will maintain the classic method of measuring my mileage for the present - this is another way to get some more data out of the car ... maybe someday I will gain enough confidence in these readings to trust it)

Crap!!!
TAKE IT TO 2000 or even 4000rpm
farting around at 60kmh is a joke!!
power up through the gears and Logans love 120 kmh!!!!
BELIEVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats some real NEWS!! Will definately try that, can you please post a picture of ur Display with that Lts indicator for everyone to understand better!
Thanks
