Swift fuel economy

i have recently brought a swift dlx 1.3 2012 i got 7.1 km/l with a/c in city i have seen people report 12 to 14.
I have checked my tire pressure 33 in front on 30 in back as recommended by suzuki tyre size is as suzuki recommended. i try my best to drive with a very light foot shifting at 2000 rpm.
is it normal? if not then any idea what might be wrong?

Oil grade?

Driving habits?

Any pending maintenance?

Dragging Brakes?

after buying it next day went to suzuki and added new brake disk and pad brake shoes in back oil and oil filter and 5000 km services package (like wheel balance etc). oil was suzuki ultamite(i just remember 10w-...). i think 10w-40 but i am 100% sure it was 10w some thing. a/c cooling is weak at idle. while driving i try to use b rake as less as possible follow speed limit and try to keep a light right foot and rpm as low as possible.
i hope this answers your query.

The oil grade should be according to your owners manual. Have a look, I think it would be best to use 5W30 grade oil for best fuel economy.

Keep in mind the quality of oil you use does matter and if the mileage is not high then shift to a fully synthetic grade oil.

Other than that, pak suzuki is entirely useless for resolving most problems especially those related to the AC. If you are in Karachi I can suggest an AC repair shop that can resolve your problem of cooling at idle.

Sure, I send my cars to Imran and he is a very reliable person (near Tariq road). He is very good at his work, you can inbox me for details and visit him.

Can you share the shop location and quality of work being done there?

Brother quality of work has always been great, everytime I have sent my vehicle it is completely inspected and only those parts are serviced or replaced that are needed. From compressor change, to servicing, gas refils and leakage repair I have had all that work done and they take their time to resolve all my problems.

I have taken a picture of their address from the reciept, a very polite gentleman Imran bhai is at the shop and he typically responds well to messages and calls.
