No brother, if alto's engine is in good condition it easily gives you 15km/l on long route with AC on, and in city it easily gives 13.5km/l with AC and without AC it goes above 14km/l, There is such a mis-conception regarding alto, although i agree it gives less fuel average than cultus, but alto's suspension, its initial response and its AC is superior than cultus, also also is designed to work in hilly areas more effectively then cultus.
