Volkswagen Virtus Mileage

Driving Pattern: Many drivers can't help but become excited when they step on the accelerator. However, rapid driving causes your car to generate more drag, which reduces fuel efficiency. To increase efficiency, maintain your speed at or near the limit and accelerate gradually. Even though it might not be quite as enjoyable, you'll have more money to spend on enjoyable activities.

Extra Baggage: You can reduce your car's fuel usage by getting rid of extra weight. Although your Virtus has 512 litres of boot space, don't misuse it. You can accomplish this by simply taking down your roof rack when not in use and getting rid of any trash. So get rid of it, along with the extra tyre that isn't working and any unnecessary luggage you carry. Observe that the fuel gauge stabilises as long as the boot is kept clean and empty. 

Gear Changes: When accelerating in lower gears, a car uses more fuel. If the engine isn't pushing, shift down instead of using the throttle. The ideal balance of speed and economy for the Virtus is achieved by shifting up at 2,000 rpm (1,500 rpm for diesel). Short-shift to conserve fuel while using a manual shift on an automatic.

Idling: Always turn off the engine to save fuel when you're stopped in a parking lot or waiting to pick someone up. Idling the engine wastes fuel and serves no use for you. Avoid driving during rush hour if possible, as you'll probably find yourself stuck in traffic.
