I managed to pull off an incredible 22KMPL average fuel economy over a stretch of 290 Km travelling from Delhi to Chandigarh in this fuel guzzling 1.5 TDI.
On the highway I was in the range of 100-110 Kmph most of the times. Did NOT drive taking FE into consideration.
AC was ON all the time.
No stops on the way.
No traffic.
That's why I love waking up at 4am for any long drive! 🙌
I'm sure that a tank to tank measure would reveal a figure less than 22KMPL, taking into consideration a margin of error, it would still easily be in the range of 19-20KMPL, which is fantastic for a car as heavy as the Rapid and an engine as Torquey as the 1.5 TDI.
I always say that FE depends more on how you drive rather than the car. This is just another irrefutable evidence.😀
