Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about KPL Live and fuel efficiency.

How is KPL calculated?

KPL (Kilometers Per Liter) is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of fuel consumed. For example, if you travel 300 km using 20 liters of fuel, your KPL is 15 (300 ÷ 20 = 15).

Why is my mileage lower than the company claim?

Company claims are typically based on ideal laboratory conditions. Real-world driving involves traffic, varying speeds, air conditioning use, and other factors that reduce efficiency.

How can I improve my vehicle's mileage?

Maintain steady speeds, avoid rapid acceleration, keep tires properly inflated, reduce excess weight, and service your vehicle regularly. Check our Efficiency Tips section for more details.

How do you test vehicles?

We test vehicles in real-world conditions across city traffic, highways, and mixed driving scenarios. Each vehicle undergoes multiple test cycles to ensure accuracy.

Does AC affect fuel efficiency?

Yes, using air conditioning can reduce fuel efficiency by 5-10%. At low speeds, opening windows is more efficient. At high speeds (above 80 km/h), AC is more efficient than open windows.

How often should I check tire pressure?

Check tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips. Under-inflated tires can reduce mileage by 5-8%.
