Fuel efficiency
We have always believed that it’s very difficult to comment on the fuel efficiency of a car unless you have driven it for a very substantial distance and tanked it up multiple times. It’s tough to test the fuel efficiency of a vehicle in a short run as it varies according to traffic and road conditions. The recently introduced ARAI certified fuel efficiency figures have come across as a boon in that regard. ARAI has its own test track and testing labs to test fuel efficiency figures of new cars with more authority. These figures, although slightly on the higher side, are the best way to compare the fuel efficiencies of various cars.
The ARAI figures for the Figo and the Micra are 15.6kmpl and 18.06kmpl respectively. We know for a fact that the Figo isn’t a very frugal car, and the ARAI figures only substantiate the fact. Quite clearly, the Micra takes the top accolades in this department.
