Hyundai Accent GLS - Getting better fuel economy (aka) Mileage..
I have been driving my friend's Hyundai Accent for the past 1 year. Mostly I drive on highway roads. Though Accent is somewhat gas guzzler inside city (return 9 to 10 kmpl avg), it gives better mileage on the highways.
2000 RPM :
From my recent trips, I found the optimum speed in which Hyundai Accent should be driven to get more fuel savings, economy, mileage is 2000 RPM (appx 80kmph) , in top gear. My friend's car returns an average of 15.5 kmpl on highways.
Some tips
1. Check the tyre pressure. Depending on the load you could choose from 28psi to 30psi.
2. Check wheel alignment and wheel balancing regularly.
3. The premium fuels are costly.. but do add some numbers in mileage. Go for premium petrol if you can shell a couple of bucks additionally.
4. Do not overtake un-necessarily. Calculated and careful driving saves your life and fuel.
