Gentleman Car
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R

For Wagon R Lxi I am getting about 8 KMPL with AC in Bangalore city traffic (South Bangalore, so not many signal). Without AC I get about 10 KMPL. How do I measure? I fill 20 litres everytime and reset the mileage meter (not Odometer!). Next time, at the start of the day, if near Empty, I note the r...eading. Never crossed 200. I have also checked with Kalyani where I bought, and after thorough analysis they suggested that I am getting the right mileage!Read More

You have to take it as a compliment of the car, Esteem (phased out now!) while moving to a new model after 93 months. Sturdy is the answer!
