The mileage you get from your Tata Safari depends on several factors:
Driving Style: Aggressive driving with sudden acceleration/braking reduces mileage. Smooth and defensive driving maximises it.
Road Conditions: Mileage is better on smooth highways. Rough roads, traffic, and inclines negatively impact mileage.
Weather Conditions: Extreme hot or cold weather, as well as solid winds, affect mileage. Rain or snow also reduces it.
Maintenance: Poor maintenance, such as incorrect tyre pressure and dirty air filters, reduces efficiency and mileage.
Age of Vehicle: Older engines and components become less efficient. So, mileage drops as a vehicle ages.
Loading and Payload: Heavy payload puts more load on the engine, lowering mileage. Remove unnecessary cargo to improve it.
Terrain and Geography: Hilly terrains and rugged landscapes take a toll on mileage compared to flat surfaces.
Aftermarket Accessories: Certain accessories, such as bull bars, light bars, lift kits, etc., add weight and drag, reducing efficiency.
Fuel Quality: Low-quality or contaminated fuel can negatively impact combustion, reducing mileage.
Driving Cycle (City vs Highway): More start-stops in city driving reduce mileage compared to relatively consistent highway speeds.
