It is very unfortunate that a company like Mahindra & Mahindra is cheating the public by adjusting the speedometer and odometer to show more Mileage.
I used to realize a 10% to 15% increase in the reading of the speedometer when compared to my GPS navigator in my 2012 Verito.
I initially thought it was an error of the GPS navigator. But recently I hired a New Verito taxi to go to the airport and I found that the Odometer of the Taxi showed a difference of 13% in the distance from my home to the airport. (I do this route once a week)
So I started investigating into the matter and many tests later and also after leaving a margin for error I find both the speedometer and odometer shows 10% higher reading.
To make it simple to understand when my car is moving at 40 KM/HR the reading on the speedometer of the Mahindra & Mahindra verito shows 53KM/HR.
So if the car is showing a mileage of 20 KM/L the actual mileage is only 18KM/L
And most of all every day thousands of people who hire Mahindra & Mahindra Verito Taxi are being charged for distances that they actually did not travel.
Isn’t this cheating in broad daylight, The intention of Mahindra & Mahindra would have been to advertise higher mileage, but doing this by giving false information is a bad practice.
I did take the car to the Mahindra & Mahindra showroom in my hometown Trichur, They checked the car and agreed that there is a difference when compared to other vehicles made by Mahindra & Mahindra like Bolero etc, but when compared to other Veritos the difference is insignificant. This clearly states that the speedometer of verito is made to show more mileage.
