About Real Car Mileage

Real Car Mileage is an independent automotive reference for Indian car and motorcycle owners. The site brings together manufacturer claimed mileage, realistic city and highway estimates, a car and bike mileage calculator, and a trip fuel cost planner in one place.

What we do

• Compare claimed and real-world mileage by make, model, variant, fuel type, transmission and model year.
• Calculate your own fuel economy from distance travelled and fuel refilled.
• Estimate trip fuel consumption, trip cost, cost per kilometre and per-passenger sharing.
• Highlight the gap between laboratory test figures and everyday Indian driving conditions.

Our approach

Mileage is not a single number. Traffic density, weather, vehicle load, tyre pressure, fuel quality, riding or driving style and air-conditioning all change the result. We therefore present claimed, city and highway figures side by side and encourage owners to measure their own tank-to-tank average.

Our database focuses on popular Indian-market cars and motorcycles. Where a variant is missing, owners can request it through the request form so the database can be expanded over time.

Who this helps

Buyers comparing vehicles, commuters budgeting monthly fuel, riders planning long trips and owners diagnosing unexpected consumption all get more value from realistic mileage than from a brochure figure alone.
