You should get an average of 15 in city riding conditions

My mileage (combination of city as well some good strech of roads) always is in between 14 to 16. Recently went for a short trip for 500 KMS, and my mileage is never crossed 16. (with complete AC and blower speed at 2, ands speeds around 80 to 120KMPH).

IS this OK? with reference to what nitin said!!

PS: Completed my first service one day before the trip.

Seems to be Ok. It has surely done under 3000km for sure, so expect the engine to open out and add another kpl or so in due course.

Thats absolutely fine.
You can easily expect a mileage of above 17 on highways.
Let me tell you, if you are referring the mileage on mileage metre, make sure you reset the trip metre before going on a trip, because mileage metre is a average of trip metre kms.
Normally people take the tankfull to tankfull mileage to be correct and accurate than mileage metre. But in my opinion mileage metre mileage is correct as well. Because in mileage metre we can see Point to Point mileage, which can be high specially if you are driving in highways. Whereas in tankful to tankful you are taking into account some kms of city drives and parking as well just before the highway trip, which reduces the overall average a little.
Further there are very few hatchbacks which gives a mileage of above 15 in city conditions.
So seems a good start.
I mean a car which claims a mileage of 18.4 and if it gives 16 its is in fact excelling the expectation.
Some cars (not naming to not to offend), claims mileage of 20 but quiet lot of friends of me who says it is as low as even below 10.

As for me my mileage is between 15- 16 under normal traffic conditions
13.5 -15 under very harsh conditions ( first gear move)
somewhere around 16-17 in highway (only mysore trip and nandi hills attempted till now, nandi hills was low though)

how much has your car driven.

The mileage we are getting is at par with what diesel car get on highways all thanks to honda's refined engine. if driving is less, this is the car to own in petrol. No second thoughts about that.

Second service over at 3090 or something
Not just diesel, i think cars like alto 800cc also gives good mileage, even better.

yeah alto is a proven piece of metal and been maruti's bread n butter for a while. What i meant was - in the same segment / 1.2 L + engine(hatch)

i have seen beat diesel giving 16kms in city thou with a lesser 3 pot engine.

also Brio leaves behind petrol polo or i20 far behind in petrol FE.

Yes you are absolutely right.
I think it has the right amount of weight to engine power ratio.
i20 and Polo are a much heavier lot, even though they are 1.2lts
The best petrol match for Brio to be compared with is i10.

Santoclauz from the forum,claimed 25.4 kmpl, which is un-belvable.
Either his driving skills are outstanding or Mumbai road are awesome.

Bang roads/Traffic suck big time, as all probably know [evil]

Mine is at 11.5 kmpl, but hopefully it improves around the 19-20 mark :)

Which insurance company to be prefered for brio.
Any thoughts on this guys.
The honda guys says they provide comprehensive insurance ?
Do comprehensive insurance covers damages in case of accidents?
