The Tata Manza (Quadrajet Aura ABS) has clocked an incredible mileage of 46.33 km per litre. This feat has been achieved by Narayanan Menon, a resident of Coimbatore who has zoomed into the Limca Book of Records. Narayanan R Menon, Managing Director of Aromen Engineering Company and a proud owner of the Tata Manza has been certified for the remarkable drive on the Coimbatore- Avinashi by-pass on 25th of May 2011. Menon’s Tata Manza covered a long stretch of 72.3 kilometer on road by consuming only 1.58 liters of diesel, which translates to an incredible mileage of 46.33 km per litre.

A mechanical engineer, Menon himself does not credit an amazing mileage to a ‘magic foot’ rather a combination of good driving and car maintenance. For a country where fuel efficiency is a significant factor for automobile ownership and with fuel prices increasing, the feat certainly bodes well for the mileage conscious customer.

i for one can't believe this,at an age when it's hard to expect this kind of mileage from even the two-wheelers!!
 
What is so amazing about this? why is he hiding the fact about how long it took him to cover that distance? Mileage means 'normal conditions' not going at 2000RPM in 5th gear where you're driving almost at idle speed where the engine is almost knocking!!

This fool should be in the limca book of cheat records!

Anyone who has a highway to test the theory on, please take your car, drive in 5th gear and just make sure you're stepping on the gas so much so as to just stop the engine from knocking, you will be amazed by the mileage you get!

Every company who claims a certain mileage has something called (under normal testing conditions) in bracket, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure what that means!
 
why didn't they provide the details of how did they came to this conclusion,did they conducted some sort of test or it was the owner who told them?

to be honest i can't believe it can really do 46.33kmpl,i would have believed if it would have been 25-27kmpl at max.
 
Damn my bike gives less than that :ashamed:

Also i think the Limca book people must have witnessed the test since one cannot just go and claim record and get included like that.
 
Its hard to believe that one can get this much mileage just by "good driving and car maintenance".May be he was driving through the slopes of a hill.
 
It's nowhere mentioned that the car was at factory settings.

The specific chosen running 72.3km stretch (not a start-stop stretch), could be sloping.

There is no mention about fuel spec either.

And until and unless it's an official standard fuel efficiency record, it's all BS.

IMO, no matter how you drive a stock manza, it cannot cross 30kmpl on a level road.
 
That is remotely possible only if he has a clear road (Hence used Highway), Drove majority of the time in 5 gear around 3k-4k rpm (almost like idelling the car at that gear)... Driving like that on the expressway with my snatro (petrol) give me like 13.somethin kms/ltr...

This is some utter BS...
 
Drive without A/C, put the car in 5th gear and drive at a constant 60-70Kmph with light foot on the accelerator, over inflate the tyres and anyone can get this magical mileage... Only thing you wont be able to do it in real world scenarios
 
Not at all possible :S
How in the world would the mileage he got be that high!
Could be that the stretch must have been a downhill one :bleh:
Not possible IMO
