Maruti Suzuki A-star: Mileage Challenge!

Earlier, in a fuel efficiency test conducted by ARAI, the country's premier automotive research agency, the A-star delivered a record mileage of 19.6 kilometers per litre of petrol. This is the best in class ARAI certified fuel efficiency, among cars in India and highlights the frugal nature of the all new K-Series engine.

In the A-star mileage rally in Mumbai, the top 25 participants achieved an average mileage of over 26.72 kmpl while in Chennai this figure was as high as 32.5 kmpl. In both these cities, the average mileage achieved by all participants was over 29 kmpl.

The cars were driven on a predetermined 60 kilometer route and after fueling up the fuel tanks were sealed in order to avoid any tampering. A total of 51 participants attended the Mumbai challenge and 45 participants attended the Chennai challenge.

The events in Mumbai and Chennai have gone to prove that the A-Star is indeed a star when it comes to mileage and getting the best out of your last drop of fuel. No doubt the engine has played a big role in this, but ample due should also be given to the driver's who have really managed to gain the best out of their vehicles.
