Yes, i can feel the jerk while idling when AC is on. This is due to AC compressor running.

Even when the AC is OFF and when started I have seen this. Like very little shudder is felt but should not be of any concern.

Guys,
During my recent long drives I confirmed one thing that mileage drops on long journeys even on highways.
Only initial few kms in highways is returning good mileage.
I tested this on my way back to Bangalore from Kerala. I've driven around 300 kms without break.
Was very light on pedal and kept below 90 kmph.
Full highway drive with no traffic. I got just above 16.
To confirm, I reseted the trip meter when I reached nice road towards the end of my journey.
I got just 17 kmpl for the 30 kms on nice road.
I used to get above 24 on the same road when I start from Bangalore.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Or is my no-break driving causing issue?

Its not overheating.
I'm checking tank to tank also.
It shows even less- 15.8
Bro, I keep leg on clutch only to change gear even in city drive.
And for that last 30 kms on nice road, I didn't even have to touch break either.
Still it was 17.

how many kms on your odo?
I guess your car simply needs running in.
my blue boy i10 used to avg 13 to 15 only. after some long trips, it shot up to 18 to 23!

Hello Harish,
I feel being a new engine, lets keep a check till first 10K Kms. I'll have a word on this with my friend in TML and revert with actual reason by tomorrow.
Its not something you should worry much!
Regards and Happy New Year.

you maybe surprised but most of my vehicles took 25k kms for run in.
my xuv had clipping problem at speed breakers which solved after 25k kms. fe is still about 13 which is less than what most people get.
my blue boy increased pickup and FE after 25k. now fe is always above 20kmpl on highway. it was so dull to drive before, now I can see a full character transformation.
more details on my respective ownership threads.

Hi Harish, Spoke to my friend yesterday night. The issue you are facing is nothing to worry about. The FE shall improve after the vehicle has run 10K+ km. Having a FE of 18-20 in initial 5 to 6K km is nothing bad at all according to him.

Don't Fret man, These are normal values. The FE differs Greatly depending on Roads,Traffic, Driving etc. Just check back at 15k Kms for real FE.
I own a Honda City IVtec since last 3 years. The max FE that I got was 14.7 on highways and till now in city roads the car has not given me beyond 12.5km/l
Total ODO as on date is 37K+. So I am fine with it as there are number of reasons as listed by BHVM. Moreover, my driver drives it so his way of driving and mine are really different.
