We recently got a new car - a Maruti Suzuki Dzire Vxi. It was a very deeply-thought-and-taken decision to buy a petrol-fueled car. One of the reasons was that our consumption (run per month) was very less (or not much you can say) and the diesel version of the same variant was nearly 125k more! Would talk in a different post about this!

Here's the car!



Anyhow, this is our second car. The first one was a Maruti Suzuki Zen Vxi, which was sold before buying this (as we have parking space for only one car) - grin!

Dzire is a nice car. All in all, we are very happy with our decision to buy Dzire petrol variant. Many people get surprised when we mention that we get an average of 20+ KMPL from our Dzire petrol! Yes! Here is the proof.

It started off from somewhere around 12 KMPL...and reached to 14.2 KMPL upon completion of 230 kilometers!


Then it increased to 18 KMPL!



Then 20 KMPL!


And, this is what we are presently getting out of it - 21 KMPL!



Our first long-distance trip in our new car was to Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. As we would have expected, it was all a smooth and comfortable journey, which also proved to be quite economical. We overall managed to get average of more than 18 KMPL in that trip! Let me tell you that this is the average with A.C. on! Yes! All the time! We never keep the windows of the car open; it helps us in two ways - one, no outside dust in the car; second, better mileage because of better aerodynamics; minimal air friction!

Heading towards Palampur!



We always halt at Bombay Picnic Spot whenever we go to Palampur - It is actually the middle point of the journey. No other point can match the quality and service of Bombay Picnic Spot, I should say. Hygienic, quick, comfortable!

Almost there!


Palampur is a beautiful place. In addition to going to Palampur, we also went to Baijnath, Jogindernagar, Bir, and a few other places. The Dhauladhar range was partly covered with snow. There are times I have seen Dhauladhar completely snow-clad. I just love the view, and the best part is that it is seen very clearly from my maasi's place! Thumbs up!

Here are a few pictures from different locations we covered.

It's always fun to visit Palampur in your own vehicle. Talking about Dzire, it is amazing! 'We' are a happy customer! :)
