Cars Q&A

I have same case. I have BEAT LS and done 1000Kms and mileage is only 9kms per ltr. I am worry about it. Please help me.

Im talking about BEAT LT.....I'm only getting 8-9 kms in city driving, don't know what the problem is..? is every once facing the same issue.

Hello.. chevy petrol engine isnt that good in terms of milage but it`s lasting and powerful. so if you want mileage i would suggest to drive in 3rd and fourth as much as possible try to avoid break nect throttles and sudden breaking then you`l get a slight improvement in mileage otherwise you`l suffer.

8-9 Is ok in beat. i dont think it can give more in city driving

done 2500kms.....no improvement still 8-9 kms.....

dont buy this car for mileage...... for looks nothing beats the BEAT.....

Look I had experienced a similar problem with my Optra Magnum 2.0 when I purchased it last october (Was getting a milage of 6-7 km/l and also lacked the power). After 1000 km's I complained to the dealer and they explained that the general tune up is made in a way that and is usually re-tuned at the end of first month.
Post the first re-tune i started getting a milage of 9-10 km/l.
Remember it takes atleast 3000 kms for a petrol engine / 5-10kms for a diesel engine to fully sent in. Also ensure they at the first service they change all Oil's including including the gear box oil. (believe me its worth the extra money)
So you have to be patient, its not buying a 2 wheeler where u can test the milage right after the fist service.

On the bright side I had been getting around 12-13 liter in Bangalore City since I crossed 5000 km - 2nd service(and i check my milage every time i fill in gas), and on the highway i get 17 (I cruze between 100- 120, not pushing any further)

thnks Tharun Venkat......

it makes me happy :)

well i still have 2500 kms or 3 months left for 5000kms service....it will be first oil change and i will surley get the gear oil change.
