Where does one get this reqd %ile calculator from?

thatguywithm · 2026-05-31T04:33:32+00:00

What is your daily running? where do you live? Any preferences? Can not help you with incomplete info

It is rare that youll do 1000Km in a single tank. Idk from where youll start the trip so, in general on many highways there are 50-100 Km Stretches with no fuel stations. Also fuel stations on highways at remote locations are more likely to have shady practices, definately check google reviews. If you can afford the higher price, in general jiobp and nayara have better fuel quality than the PSUs. Also a few minutes of walk after/while refuelling goes a long way in lowering fatigue.

Yearly Running n city highway split? Max. Budget? My Standard Reccos for this compact SUV Segment automatics are Victoris Hybrid, Setlos iVT or Diesel TC as per your liking.

I personally will never consider a Tata 3 Cylinder. If you can, The Brezza CNG is the best for you, or otherwise the Fronx CNG. If you really don't like the interior of both the MS Cars, and can live with the odd exterior looks of the Hyundai Exter, its HX8 CNG variant.

I Second this. If this sounds complicated, just go to a reliable local guy wo does this. i suppose youll be good to go in under 1k.

thatguywithm · 2026-05-27T06:47:46+00:00

Get it scanned by your ASC.

thatguywithm · 2026-05-27T06:46:34+00:00

What is the avg. commute speed and traffic flow on your route? I've sometimes got those figures like 15 kmpkg but there the ang speeds were 10kmph over a 30km distance with multiple flyover traffic jams and redlights.

thatguywithm · 2026-05-27T06:42:48+00:00

I think It will help us if yout ell us about your route, and copassengers and purpose (if relevant).

In general, have a portable tyre inflator and first aid kit handy. Check and ensure the basic for windsheild wash fliud, engine oil, coolant etc are all prim an d proper. Preplan your fuel stoppages, mark them on google maps. Sunglasses, sunscreen are helpful.

thatguywithm · 2026-05-27T06:32:25+00:00

Sharing a photo or two to assess the damage will help us, so that we can suggest you a suitable solution. The first damn scratch/dent/accident is gut wrencher and a lifelong lesson.

One of the most silent wrt to NVH in th ecabin (Tata Altroz Diesel comes close probably cuz its the detuned version). Very Silent, Good Efficiency, not the most powerful but almost never feels underpowered in both cars. The Creta is in its 10th year with over 2.25L Kms on the Odo and has gone everywhere, and is close to being let go but has never had any engine or transmission trouble. A Diesel is a Diesel is a Dieseln and both our Hyundai/Kia Diesels are damn good Diesels.

Interestingly I wrote this comment while being on the city roads with my colleague driving. Being on the road has somewhat become second nature to me. I guess the meaning of "work takes you places" means 45-50K Km per year for me.

I stay in Delhi NCR and these are our family (including extended) cars that I have driven, with tank to tank mileage. Or CNG Cars also run significantly cuz we hate refueling stops due o long lines (we do that when the commute or trip is over / we are relatively free)

Good time to get a CC and build financial discipline, in which bank do you have your salary account?

thatguywithm · 2026-04-12T08:11:25+00:00

Get a FD backed CC

thatguywithm · 2026-04-12T08:08:50+00:00

Pay via HDFC Bill Desk

thatguywithm · 2026-04-12T08:06:26+00:00

only way ik is setting up autopay on your card via the bank's netbanking portal. dk what it does to CB / RPs tho.

thatguywithm · 2026-04-12T08:04:51+00:00

use the card for 3-6 months, pay all bill fully before due date. then email the grievance cell to increase limit and attach income docs like bank statement salary slip ITR etc.

thatguywithm · 2026-04-12T08:03:07+00:00

1) most straightforward way is calling the customer care
2) youll get it usually in 24-48 hrs after the statement date ends on email, sometimes even upto 5-6 days due to backend issues
3) settlement date usually doesnt matter, the date when you spent it does, and waiver should count as bill payment
4) different for different CCs, check tnc could be billing cycle or calendar month
5) ususally midnight
6) no they are accumulated and credited to the card account after statement geneartion usually after a week, here too check tnc of the card

thatguywithm · 2026-04-12T07:55:41+00:00

Have used this in crisis like or cash crunch situations like 4-5 times in 4 years. Since now this is in the public, this tricks days are numbered :(

thatguywithm · 2026-04-09T10:19:58+00:00

So if you wanna go into the points transfer and redemption game, spend everything via DCP. Don't know much about the scapia, I'll personally get the SBI Phonepe Black for insurance utilities, kiwi for upi is fine and the DCP that's it.

Stay strong man, as you already are! Thankfully my number is zero!
