The mileage you can expect from the Mahindra Thar depends on several factors:
Driving Style: Aggressive starts/stops, overtakes, and speeding require more engine power, decreasing economy. A defensive driving style is critical.
Road Conditions: Off-roading, broken roads, gradients, and city traffic reduce mileage compared to smooth highways. Plan routes accordingly.
Maintenance: Poor maintenance, such as incorrect tyre pressure, dirty air filters, and old spark plugs, increases friction and load on the engine, lowering economy.
Weather Conditions: Extreme hot or cold weather, as well as strong headwinds, decrease efficiency. Plan longer travel times and account for more fuel consumption.
Load/Passengers: Heavy payload in the cabin and boot or driving at total seating capacity adds weight, putting more load on the engine. Travel light for better mileage.
Fuel Quality: Using dirty or contaminated fuel can decrease the engine's combustion efficiency, again negatively impacting the economy. Always opt for well-known fuel brands.
