I have a 2014 Suzuki Alto K10 Petrol (1000cc engine). The mileage so far has been fairly low <10k kms. The fuel efficiency is abysmally low ~8-9 kmpl. This average is running in strictly local conditions, heavy and slow traffic.

Someone suggested an Italian tuneup for the car. Essentially running ~100 kms on the highway at a fairy high speed >90kmph. This will supposedly open up the engine and will give a better average.

Before I actually spend the time and effort on the Italian job, question:

Has anyone tried this technique before and how effective is it?

Well, I find my car will run much smoother after giving it a 750km run at 130km/h only stopping once for fuel...

Really does get it properly warm and cleans all its pipes.

Took an old RV / motorhome on a long run (2 week holiday) with constant speed running - that also made a difference : before all it had done was small local running around and was choked up.

Changing the oil afterwards is good - get all that rubbish out.

It is up to date on its servicing...
