I am sorry...I will not able to give any garage details because I do not stay in Mumbai. I also feel that it is a guzzzler so far as gas is concerned.

Hi,
You have purchased a 1.6 Liter Engine Ford Ikon, in mumbai the traffic is very much the car will give best 8 Kms per liter. On highway best is 12 km per liter. Ford Ikon 1.3 Flair gives 9 to 10 in city and BEST 14 kms per liter on highway. Nothing to worry Enjoy the power of 1.6 Liter engine on the highway you come to know the difference. Keep the car tuned well. For best results get it serviced at the FORD Sservice station. After every 10000kms certain parts have to be replacedd ex: air filter. Oil filter which is required to maintain the average of the car............Safe and smooth iding Regards, ' Vishal Sinha Mob: 9823637907 Pune Posted: 4850 day(s) ago |

Even I have a Ford Ikon 1.3,2001 model. It gives mileage of around 7km per liter of petrol. The car has gas kit also, but it doesn't work.
Even I want to confirm from someone that whether I can improve its mileage... Posted: 4850 day(s) ago |

Hi,
The mileage you are getting is quite less and it needs thorough inspection as you can expect mileage of around 10KMPL on average from Ikon 1.6. Please get the car inspected from authorised dealer and ask them to give correct explanation for the works to be done.Please mail us back in this regard. Posted: 4848 day(s) ago |

i understand that you have chosen a very high maintenance vehicle as compared to maruti or even hyundai.but my friend a ford is a ford after all.my vehicle which a 2002 1.6 version gives a decent average around 10-13 kmpl in city as well as highways.nothing to worry,your vehicle needs servicing as a new ford demands servicing in the first 40000 kms and thereafter on every 10000 kms or 6 months which ever is less.i have done servicing of the entire engine because the previous owner did not do any kind of servicing.it cost me around 20000/-along with th replacement costs.an ddont even think about selling the vehicle so early as the reselling price of the vehicle will be drastically low,practically half.you could keep the vehicle for approx 1 -2 years so that the depreciation cost will not burn a hole in your pocket.enjoy you first vehicle and stop worrying.
