MY FIRST CAR EXPERIENCE

HI,
I Got my i10 ERA model (Electric RED) in a weeks time on 19th December 2007. Basically I am a learner in my car and have done about 1400 kms so far. I am using for about 50 kms a day in Bangalore Roads.  I had experienced a mileage of about 11.5 - 12 (Without AC) kms in highly congested Bellary -Majestic Roads.  So I decided to take for a long drives. I travelled for about 200 kms out on highways and had got 17.5 and 17.3 (without AC repeat without AC). Last week I took another longer drive of about 400 - 600 kms covering Bangalore - Mandya - Mysore - Chamarajnager - Mysore and got a mileage of 19.6 kms (without AC)  and from Mysore - Mandya - Melukote - Nagamangala - Kunigal - Bangalore I got about 20.62 kms (without AC) mileage. I could experience the higher mileage when I was driving between 75kmph to 85kmph constantly This is my first top speed.  rest of the mileages were between speeds 60 - 75 kmph. I got the first servicing done. Now I need to test for the longer drives with AC which I shall put forward in the near future. Hope fully I feel comfort and getting used to my first car experience.
