Unbelievable !

So satisfying and pleasant to look at the disciplined line of two wheelers in one of the pix. Certainly this is not ANY Indian City. In Delhi, Mumbai, etc. the 2-wheeler guys and 3-wheeler cavaliers will get into any gap, preventing all other vehicle users any leeway ...

Mileage
by usha sundaram on Jan 16, 2014 10:45 PM

DZire petrol managed a fuel economy figure of 42.1 kmpl. How did they achieve this mileage? Simple. They made arithmetical mistake.

Garbage. There is no way DZire could achieve this mileage. Even scooters with 25% of DZire's weight could get only 48KMPL. This is nothing but a white lie.

we waste money

I saw most people on roads speed unnecessary even if they signal 200 metres ahead. I saw people keep their engines on long traffic signals also especially and mostly drivers. some people abruptly speed up raise accelarator at low gears. Poorly maintained vehicles, unnecessary speeding and frequent breaks bring down 40% efficiency down. The above car handling etiquettes should be a part of driving license issuance.
I am not surprised with desire claims, if one needs efficiecny, green environment, maximum savings, moderate speed and safe driving - It comes from within and becomes habit as its win win for all.
