I purchased second hand Mira (2015) last year in October. It is 79k driven. I regularly change its oil on 5000kms including Air Filter, Oil Filter and A/c Filter. My car was giving 16.5 -17 km/l in winter in Karachi. But as soon as summer has started it has started to give very poor average (Around 13-13.5 km/l with a/c). Please give any solution regarding this matter. Thanks

Arhumzaidi.

Could be due to AC usage that car is consuming more fuel.Check the spark plugs just in case.

Try changing the battery because it has an electrical system changing the battery would solve the problem because it also worked for me

What grade engine oil are you using? Also wider tires reduce fuel average.
Cat converter in these cats also get choked after some time which also causes low fuel average.

Yes a/c could be the reason but 13-13.5 is very low fuel average for Mira

I don't think that battery is the reason behind this issue. JazakaALLAH for your opinion!
