👎 NEGATIVE

50-60 kmph on highways with Virtus GT. It would feel like going on a bullock cart, Lol

👍 POSITIVE

1.5 has cylinder deactivation, so when you are going stable at 50, you aren't actually using the full engine. Here you wouldn't technically be using the "turbo" either since you are probably under 2k rev for 50 speed. So you would get very good mileage. The 1 litre engine on the other hand will drink petrol. I think you can recover the price difference between the 1.5 and 1 within just a year o

👍 POSITIVE

Isn't using shell offsetting the per km cost? Still a great mileage.

👎 NEGATIVE

I mean if you've a Virtus GT & you drive like a grandma at 50-60, how does it do justice to the car! No offense though

😐 NEUTRAL

I dont think people are considering mileage a main reason for buying a virtus

👍 POSITIVE

When am cruising around 90-100kmph, our virtus gt 2022 returns 17-19kmpl. Decent speed with decent mileage and am a happy man. 26km/l is actually crazy but I can’t really drive that slow on a highway and neither can my Dad. 😅

👍 POSITIVE

50-60 is not ideal for everyone . But still at medium speed the mileage is commendable

👎 NEGATIVE

OP bought GT to ride 50-60, bhai Activa chla lo zyda milega degi

👎 NEGATIVE

I can clock the same mileage on wagonR and still overtake you at 80. With that beast I would never go at 50-60. Also why does it look like this was written by Chatgpt OP?
