Making the 450 kays between Bangalore and Kodaikanal with a half tank and a touch actually works out to only a tad more than a bus ticket. It's obviously not official, but I topped up my Maruti Suzuki - Way of Life Alto 800cc-engined car's 35-litre tank in Bangalore, and filled it again when I reached Kodi. I had managed to complete the run with 18.7 litres, which worked out to an average of 24.7 kpl, and included more than 50 km of hill driving. Not bad for a petrol car born in 2003, ay?
Been wanting to do this since Day One Test the Alto on a mileage run. |
The odo was reset at seven thirty Tuesday 35 litres at Madiwala and got on my way. |
I was to be alone with the cyclone And the Rain Man's dark overtones. |
Ronald was trying to look sane in the brain But a muffin remains dry when out of the rain. |
Back on tarmac ground steady around seventy With Let It Be sung for me by Paul McCartney. |
Tamilnadu was a gorgeous state of green And my twelve-year-old was showing she still runs lean. |
Our roads are mean to those too keen There are always plenty reminders to be seen. |
A quarter tank at 218 clicks The old girl still got her bag of tricks. |
Put a Pepsi and a dhum after Salem Good conditions, traffic at a miniumum. |
The ballet on the gas continued, almost Dindigul now Her 800ccs had sung Alto so far, and how. |
But Plains Jane economy is easier than the hills I'm looking for automotive projects to pay the bills. |
403.8, and the tank was at halfway state That's pretty damn great, but the ghats were lying in wait. |
One of my favourite spots for a quick shot But the rum would wait till day was naught. |
There it was, the amazing final meter reading Showing us why she still has plenty meaning. |
Old is my silver hatch, but she from a good batch I hope you live long my friend, 'cause we're a great match. |
