Worst fuel average : Urgent advice required

Keep using the factory recommended tires, the suspension and steering work best with that.

Do not fall for the “grip” mantra or “looks” mantra for wheels. You need to match the whole sizing including width and offset unless you love replacing steering parts.

Update :

So I took my car to Bilal Gunj & knew someone who deals in tire business. I got my car stock tyre size i.e 165/70/R14
It is Dunlop and was in good shape.
Filled the tank and so far 70 KMs used and no drop in any bar, so I can sense some improvement, however there are some strange sounds coming from suspension or under the car.

Ground clearance issue is also being faced straight away, may I will get used to it in some time, but sudden noise from suspensions of tires is uncommon.

You should only get new and authentic, genuine imports of tires.

Avoid grey channel imports.

There are authorized dealers for Nexen and Yokohama. Probably other brands too. Not sure if Dunlop has ann authorized sales channel in Pakistan but if they do and you got the right import it’s good.

why did not buy the new tires from dealer or from some main shop ?
from bilal gunj, only re-furbished tire shops are there

Thanks for sharing your experience! I also have a Vitz 2012, and it’s good to know that the mileage improved on its own after a week. I guess sometimes these things just need time to settle. I’ve been considering getting my CAT cleaned too, and I’ve heard mixed reviews about mechanics doing it manually. How often do you get your CAT cleaned? And does the throttle body/spark plug cleaning usually have a big impact on your fuel average, or was this just a one-time issue?

These cat, throttle and maf cleaning services are nothing more than money grabs

Just drive your car regularly and once in a while run it hard.
