Real-world numbers, not brochure figures because both differ significantly.

Standard fuel consumption:

ConditionMileage
Highway (flat road)8–10 km/litre
City traffic5–6 km/litre
Hill roads4–5 km/litre
Factors that affect mileage:

  • Passenger load: 12 people vs 6 people makes a visible difference
  • AC usage: continuous AC drops mileage by 15–20%
  • Driver habits: aggressive acceleration hurts fuel economy significantly
  • Vehicle age: older models consume noticeably more
Quick calculation for Delhi to Jaipur (~280 km): At highway mileage of 9 km/litre and diesel at ₹90/litre expect roughly ₹2,800–3,200 in fuel one way.

Before finalising any booking, always clarify whether fuel is included or billed separately. When comparing operators for tempo traveller in Delhi, ask for an all-inclusive quote hidden fuel billing is the most common pricing dispute on outstation trips.
