Guys!
Have some problem with my uni , not exactly a problem..but I just need some info..Gear shifting : at which rpm u guys usually shift the gears??..I do it at 4-4.5, some times at 5..for which I get a mileage of 48-50..but I have read that at 5.5 rpm (for unicorn) shifting gears is ideal! (point at which it produces max torque)
There is this airport road for a stretch of 4 kms near my office..where i rip my uni till 100-110..Lets call this power ride
, during this ride I shift gears at high rpm's 5-5.5 and I seem to have a drastic mileage drop..so, I wasnt sure whether someone fiddled with my petrol / it was bcoz of my ride..went today to AHS and got my uni checked up..he did a test drive and according to that, it was giving 60kmpl! WTF :O..i was shocked..but the way he rode it was completely different..he was changing gears at very less rpm..upshifting whenever possible, trying to remain on higher gear even at at some lesser speed and was riding at speeds just above where the engine doesnt make noise!..I asked him to let me ride.so that he will know the way I ride it and was shifting at 4.5-5 and using engine breaking while downshifting ( did not blip while downshifting)..he even changed the idle rpm to around 1..while it was supposed to be somewhere around 1.4..contradiction?..
The point is do I have to ride like he did to attain such mileage..at a point, I felt I was riding the right way and pretty happy about it..but now I'm confused!..I told him about my after office ride..and he told me that for 4kms of such ride..mileage would drop to 40kpml! :O :O :O for 4 kms of such ride, will that happen?? or is he exaggerating??
