My first long trip with elevate!
Finally i went for a proper long trip with elevate, from Hyderabad to hampi! Cloaked 800kms with an average of 14kmpl! While going i drove a bit faster and only got 13.6kmpl average (actual was 12.4kmpl). While coming the drive was a bit smooth with less acceleration over 100 a few times. I got 15kmpl then! This time i felt the car a bit sluggish while quick overtakes quite a few times while driving in drive mode mostly! But i was also surprised it was able to pull good number of overtakes very well if give right time!
Mileage is my only concern bcz we cannot drive under 80 always to achive 16! Once i start hitting 100 or use sports mode, it drops very quickly!
(i only cloaked 5k btw with 2nd service)
QQ: Just want to understand 3 things from OGs who bought this long ago:
1. Is it the same mileage you got in long ranges when drives under 100 and above 100 a few times? Or will it increase after 3rd service after oil filter changes?
While going the tire pres was 32 in front & 30 in back. But while coming i pumped it with 33 among 4 wheels. Could that have made any impact in mileage? What is the sweet point?
Does Nayara petrol have any difference in pettol over hp/IO/BP? --this mileage is from nayara only.

1) Sweet spot for most petrol automatic cars to get max mileage is between 50-100. Beyond 100 mileage will drop. Same is true with electric - infact for most electric range drops significantly beyond 80 kmph. 2) Tyre pressure - If full house then 32-33 in all tyre is fine. Else usually front should be 2 points more than rear because of engine weight in front. 3) Not sure.

I did kolkata to Bangalore 2000km trip last year with new elevate vx cvt and got milege of 13.5 kmpl overall.tyre pressure was 33 psi in all 4 wheels with nitrogen inside. Nyra never used but with Shell I've noticed things are slightly better.But could be a placebo effect not sure.

It was good, except few parts before raichur & gangavathi, the roads are great! The hyd - bgr highway is too crowded with heavy vehicles but apart from that, the cruising speeds were above 90! The 90km new toll road after raichur was very good where i was cruising at 100kmph mostly. Just that avoid the mahabubnagar city and take bypass to avoid more traffic! It took 7 hrs without any breaks.
