That too @ 80-90 Kmph. I was initially thinking that anything above 80 would put Nano engine on stress, and FE will reduce drastically, but I guess I was wrong!
@jayadev : Tata claim the ideal speed should be 50 -70 kmph.
@dharmesh : two people with some luggage.
During my car's 1st service, the service centre recommended a fuel additive, which I used couple of times. Do you guys think fuel additives make a lot of difference to the performance or FE of the car?

@silver,I would recomend follow the bible. Do not go for any additive if its not mentioned on the manual.
Additive can prove corrosive to certain components if not tested and approved by manufaturer.
hope you get the point.

The additive which was given to me was the one recommended by TATA themselves. I do not recollect the name. Will check and confirm.
Should I still have not used it?![[confused]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Confused.gif "Confused [confused]")
Should I still have not used it?
My personal experience with my d4d altis is that I get 16+ in Bangalore city with AC on almost all the time. Haven't really had the chance to test it on the highway, bcos I almost always end up borrowing someone's Innova whenever I leave town. However, I plan to go on a long drive end of this month and I presume it would give close to 20-21 on the highway. Shall keep you all posted.
^^Buddy Altis is still better than Innova and any other UV until you have to go on a hilly road,for highway drives,it scores very well and if driven decently,it easily delivers 22-23 kpl.
New Ritz is even more fuel efficient -
Under the hood of the new Ritz Diesel lies the celebrated 1248cc DDiS engine delivering a high fuel efficiency of 23.2 kmpl (Certified fuel efficiency as per CMVR Rule 115). The highly successful diesel engine returns a torque of 190Nm@ 2000 rpm and unmatched power of 75ps@4000rpm, with 5-step multi-injection technology for smooth and effortless running. Ritz Diesel achieves a speed of 0-60 kmph in 5.9 sec.

Just got back from a long trip ( 800kms) and am pleased to say that my diesel corolla altis has given me a mileage of around 21-22 on the highway. I am guilty of accepting the fact that I drove a considerable distance ( around 350kms) at speeds of 140 plus ( 3000-3300 rpm)which must have gulped a lot. But, I was tempted by the highway and the superb handling of the car. Maybe if I was more sedate( 110 kmph at around 2000rpm), I might have got more to the litre. All said and and done , I am pleased on two counts: mileage and superb handling at high speeds. This is one hell of a car which is a good handler, good snob value and light on the pocket as well.
I guess there should be a new addition to the thread :

my colleague has one giving 13-14 on a/c

That awesome to know that you have got wonderful FE. Yes, I accept the tempting you got in highways now a days. I myself do that.
BTW, small doubt, the RPM changes depending upon the power of the car? Why am asking this is, you have mentioned 110 in 2000 RPM. But in my sparky, if i touch 100 the RPM will be around 3000.
