mileage

Feeling Cheated and being betrayed by Mahindra. I purchased Mahindra kuv100 k8 diesel on 2/4/2016. Many of my friends told that I am making a big mistake by choosing Mahindra kuv100 over maruti Suzuki desire. But I have ignored their suggestions although out of that two of my friends are owing Mahindra car. I thought that if company is claiming 25.32 kmpl so minimum I will get is 20 to 21 kmpl on highway and 19 to 20 kmpl in city. As we all know that we get 2 to 3 kmpl average less than company claim. From the 3rd day of brought I started realizing why my friends were saying like that. On the 3rd day I have to go out of town for some work. So I had full the tank. I had started noticing that car was consuming more fuel than what company promised. When refilled the tank at that time I got 16.6kmpl mileage. I have complained to Mahindra showroom associate for that and he told me that I will start getting at least 20 kmpl mileage after 1st service . But after first service I have noticed that mileage of my car is gone down. when a I checked mileage of car according mention in mahindra user manual . I was shock because of the average what I am getting by my car is 10 kms to 13 kms in city and 15 to 16 kms on highway. So I have complaint it in service centre and they ask me to come on 2/7/2017 for mileage check . Average check test result and details are below. Service Centre: Sheetal Motors service centre, bopal road , ahmedabad Car mileage check by Mahindra associate as per company norms. Tank : Full( before test & after test ) Vehicle Speed: 70- 80 kmpl RPM : 1800 – 2100. Kms Driven: 63 Diesel consumed: 3.31 ltr. Average: 19.03 Road: Highway ( Sanathal circle, Ahmedabad to before bagodra city) Driver : Mr. Bhavin , Mahindra associate Ac: AC lowest temp, & Blower speed 2. Person in car During mileage test: 2( driver from Mahindra and me ) Luggage in car during mileage check: No. Car stop during test: 3 to 4 times. Although after following all company norms and direction and driven by Mahindra associate mileage is less then what they promise. So it means if I want 19kmpl mileage than I have to drive only on highway and according to above mentioned conditions. And we all know that city mileage is always 3 to 4 kmpl less than highways due to traffic. Really big disappointed and feeling cheated by Mahindra . One of the biggest mistake of my life to choose Mahindra. And i will defiantly sale the car as soon as possible. As a middle class person I cannot afford 10 to 13 kmpl in city and 16 kmpl on highway. My previous maruti wagonar petrol was giving me more average than this Hungry diesel hulk Mahindra kuv 100 k8. Although it was half of the shitty Mahindra kuv100 Now it is you call to buy or not.
