Toyota grande 1.8 Automatic millege problem

[tousifhasanzai]

Hi, this is my first post, so sorry if I am going against any guideline of this forum
I have read in all other threads that "Toyota grande 1.8 automatic" is given around 12 to 14 km/l in city but this is not what i am getting. so far I have done these steps but still getting 8.2 km/l in city

Change air filter
Change oil filter
Change oil (liqui moli 5w 30)
Reset all the system to default by connecting to computer
I am driving in eco all the time

still no luck and getting 8 or 8.2, can you guys please guide me what could be the problem?

What’s your normal driving route? Take it on a long drive, set it on cruise control at 120 kmph. Reset the average meter. If it gives you more than 14, then there is no issue with your car. The only issue could be your driving style and the route you follow. For example: when I drive on Canal road, i get average of 16. When I drive inside market I get average of 6. On average I get average of 11-12.

Make sure you've reset the Average meter.

@nifiii is absolutely correct.

Take it on some long route, drive around 100-120 kmph, reset the average meter and then note average.

Remember, in short routes, stop and go traffic, rush, etc. fuel efficiency drops to a miserable figure.

Also try to drive gently and with a soft foot.

Btw, what is your odometer reading and model year?
Did you clean the plugs and got throttle body serviced?

Here at karachi usually traffic is high where i am getting 8 but the day before I drove on clifton beach which is smooth and empty road still i got 8.2. But i didn't drive on 120 or even 100.
I was driving in eco

I didn't drive on 100 or 120 till yet. I always ride on soft foot, odometer is showing 34700, model year is 2016, I already clean the plugs. Never touch throttle body till yet

I have heard that best mileage is attained when the speedometer needle is at the middle of speed gauge. You may check for yours car and drive on that figure for at least 10-15 minutes for getting average. Take your car on some highway and note down the average. On very low rpms and driving around 40-60 kmph, you will never get good average.

Regarding throttle body service; I think iss mein kuj haraj nai hai, definitely cleaning sey faida hi ho ga.
If it has never been cleaned, I would suggest to get it serviced at least for once.

Tomorrow i will take a ride on long route, 'll let you guys know INSHALLAH

I think 8 km/L in Karachi with A/C in stop & go traffic seems reasonable. In Rawalpindi/Islamabad my relative gets around 9~10 km/L in his 2017 Civic. Roads are more open here with lesser traffic. So 8 seems ok to me in Karachi.
