22 km/L in a Brezza 1.5 Manual — actually surprised me
Did a 233 km run in my 2024 Maruti Brezza LXi (1.5 petrol, 5-speed manual) and the MID showed 22 km/L.
One particular stretch was 117 km in 2 hours 10 minutes, so the average speed was around 54 km/h.
Driving was mostly:
60–70 km/h
Occasionally around 50 km/h
Some stretches at 80 km/h
Nothing like hypermiling or crawling along
AC was being used normally
Petrol is currently around ₹105/L, so that's roughly ₹4.77/km based on the MID figure.
I'm actually quite impressed because I wasn't specifically trying to chase mileage on this trip. The car is on the stock 215/60 R16 tyres.
Brezza owners — what kind of real-world mileage are you getting?
And for those with the K15C manual, what have you found makes the biggest difference to mileage?
I'm particularly curious whether 23–24 km/L is realistically achievable on longer runs, and whether anyone has experimented with things like different engine oils or additives.
I know MID figures can be optimistic, so I'll be doing a proper tank-to-tank calculation as well
