VahanPujari, your upholstery upgradation looks very nice.  Could you please give more details on that including price?

Nice pics & review. Keep updating . Do mention FE as you are one of very few who are using petrol Linea. Have a more nice time with your Linea.

On highways with 100% time AC ON, I get FE of 14-15 kmpl typically

Within City, it varies (B2B traffic). I'm in Mumbai. In morning, from home to office (31 kms), I typically get 12-13 kmpl with 100% AC ON. While in evening back home, on the same route, I get 8-10 kmpl 100% AC ON.

FE varies with avg speed, my observation as below (I always drive with AC ON 100% time):

Avg speed 40-50 kmph - FE is around 14 kmpl

at 35 kmph - FE is around 13 kmpl

at 20 kmph - FE is 9-10 kmpl

at 15-16 kmph - FE is around 8 kmpl

During my last trip back from Lonavala, I got an astonishing FE of 30.3 kmpl (Diesel kinda FE in a Petrol Linea) for a stretch of 25-30 kms.

Its Made-To-Order with the modifications/ designs I suggested.

How much do you think one should pay for it ?

I am sure these figures are based on the FE reading you get on dispaly. My question is are these really reliable? I mean assuming you drive perfectly, would you still get 30KMPL???

Manual tank-full to tank-full gives me 14-15 kmpl on highways (100% AC ON)

& within city, Mumbai B2B traffic, it gives 10 kmpl (100% AC ON at avg speed of 16 kmph only)

Linea's MID is quite accurate. Typically the difference comes only 4%-5% i.e. 0.3 to 0.5 kmpl difference when compared to manual tank-full method

That 30 kmpl, as I already mentioned earlier, was only for 25-30kms when I drove light-footed on Pune expressway. It started from 12 kmpl & once I decided to try driving light-footed, it starts quickly jumping up. Since its for short distance, it could be due to driving conditions & style. This is the highest I got for a short distance trip. Earlier highest was 18 kmpl within city in early morning when traffic is less

excellent step by step review.30kmpl FE reminds me of the fiesta launch days,when they claimed that fiesta can give you a 30kmpl..

by the way i did TD linea too and also enjoyed a backride,comfortwise driving experience wise..it deserves an A grade definitely.
