What fuel average are you honestly getting in city driving?

Let's put together a realistic picture instead of showroom claims. Please share your car, engine, city, and the average you get in daily stop-and-go traffic (not highway). Mention if it's a manual or automatic and whether you use the AC most of the time. I'll start: 1.3 manual in mixed Lahore traffic sits around 11-12 km/l for me. Curious how the CVT owners compare.

1.0 manual in Karachi traffic, AC on most of the time, I get a genuine 12-13 km/l. Drops to 10 if I am stuck on the same route during peak hours.

CVT 1.3 here. On paper it should beat the manual but in real traffic I only see about 10-11. Highway is a different story though, easily 16+.

Honestly your right foot matters more than the engine. Same car, same route, my average went from 9 to 12 just by not racing to every red light.
