💡 Fuel-Saving Tips for a 1000 km Intercity Long Haul
- →Plan a 2-night trip for 1,000 km — fatigue after 500 km is a real accident risk.
- →Hire a second driver if doing it in 2 days solo; toll cost per 1,000 km averages ₹800–1,800.
- →EV fast-charging network is still sparse on many 1,000 km intercity routes — petrol/diesel recommended.
- →Engine heat build-up on long runs: check coolant level daily and allow 30-min cool-down after 4 hours.
