Is My Driving Style Causing Poor Mileage in My Suzuki Khyber?

In city traffic, my Khyber seems to burn fuel quickly. Does aggressive driving, unnecessary idling, o r over-revving the engine impact fuel economy significantly in this car?

Yes, aggressive o r inefficient driving habits directly impact fuel consumption, especially in city driving where Khyber already struggles with mileage.

Bad Driving Habits That Hurt Mileage:

Sudden acceleration o r braking

Keeping the engine on during long idling e.g., at signals

Driving at high RPMs unnecessarily

Riding the clutch especially in traffic

How to Improve Mileage:

Shift gears early and smoothly

Turn off the engine if idling for more than 60 seconds

Maintain speeds between 60–80 km/h on open roads

Avoid unnecessary A/C use in city traffic

Result: Following fuel-efficient driving can improve mileage by up to 20%
