That being said, having been to India myself, it should be noted that "city traffic" has a COMPLETELY different definition in India than it does in the US or Europe. The word "chaos" usually applies. How in the world you would hypermile in those conditions is beyond me. I guess it might be possible if you're in a lesser traveled area. If there's a bright side, I guess it's that nobody really cares if you obey the traffic laws (stop signs, etc.) in India!
Go ahead and load your vehicle details into the Garage and start a fuel log and then we can see your progress.

Thanks Dave
You are quite right, city streets in India are a little bit different from US or Europe, main differences are roads are narrow, footpath/walkaways are narrow so people have got tendencies of walking on roads, but traffic rules are strict in Metro/big cities like Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi etc but unfortunately you cannot avoid "chaos" during busiest times of the day since number of cars have increased exponentially as compared to new roads.
I am trying to hit the roads earlier than usual to encounter light traffic.
Lets see....
