VW Virtus fuel economy in city, ghats & expressways: Owner’s insights

The city fuel efficiency of my VW Virtus 1.0L automatic usually falls in the 8-10 kmpl range. This is with the air conditioning on.

BHPian supernova105 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I would like to share a few mileage figures achieved on a short weekend drive for breakfast towards Yavat on Solapur Road for my 1.0 AT.

This was with hardly 10% AC On, and occasional few bursts of hard acceleration upto 100/110.

The below image includes the return trip with the AC on 22/23 full time.

This is mostly because of the weekend and very sparse traffic.

I visited Sai Krupa Tea Housewhich is famous for its Misal, Bhel, and South Indian fare.

I had a cut dosa and their special Kadak Chai (their normal chai is very milky but a perfect blend of masala which I had when I last visited this place)

My maiden drive on the expressway while returning from Ghodbunder Road, Thane to Pune yielded around 14.5 KMPL with AC on 70% of the time, which includes the infamous traffic-laden Ghats and weekend traffic in both cities, which is a good number.

City figures usually range from 8-10KM/L with AC On, and if it’s moving traffic in Pune, it gives 11-12.

Drive to Mulkhed Point

Sharing a few pictures of a short drive last weekend towards Mulkhed Point ahead of Sus Road towards Pirangut (Also called Mini Necklace Point since it bears resemblance to the original Necklace Point Near Bhor).
