I drive a 2000 model Maruti ZEN LX ( 2nd hand, bought in June 2005 ). I have been giving it for a regular 5000 kms service since then. I always drive the car with A/c ON as I drive in Chennai, India ( around 36-40 degree temp ). Of late, I get only 8-9 kms / Ltr against the claim of 13-14 kms per litre with AC on or 16 kms-18kms w/o AC. On checking with the mechanics they have tried a dry run by re-routing the petrol line and checking with about 0.5 ltrs and it gave about 8.1 kms (1.e approx. 16.2 kms w/o AC per ltr ) and he says it is okay. When I tried with full tank, ( 34 Ltrs were filled, I got only 273 kms ). Why is this so?
