22nd March 2013 I purchased Alto 800 LXI model it cost me 3.81 on road (Bangalore) with Music system, center lock, Teflon coating, body cover, left mirror, under chases rust coating, cigarette lighter 5 mats and mud flaps. Hope I have covered all items. After 15 days of local ride decided to go for long journey to Harihar (Around 300 km from Bangalore).
Since I am not sure of fuel per bar (Fuel gauge reading) I filled full tank petrol (set trip meter B to zero) and started journey on 12th April 2013 early morning 4. I drove on an average speed of 60-80 kmph took one break of half an hour near Hiriyur for break fast and reached Harihar by 10 am.
Visited temple near my town and visited sister place at Harapanahalli on 13th April and came back to harihar. By this time 4 bar on the fuel gauges have vanished. I refill petrol to full tank, it took 16.27 liter to make full tank. I checked trip meter B it was showing 413.8 km. I calculated mileage 413.8/16.27 = 25.43 km/l that is quite good.
I am more than happy with this performance.
Out of 413.8 km first 300 km, we were two (myself and my wife) with one small bag. most of the ride was in 5th gear on NH 4. Around 30km, five people with AC on, drove on a worst road in 2nd and 3rd gear.
rest 83.8 km 3 adults and one kid no AC.
Till now I have completed around 850km total and first service is due on 22nd April 2013.
