5,26 L/100km or 44.7 mpg(US)
That's certainly not bad as a city average.

Conversion website :

That's only 4 L/100km -58.8 mpg , so it's going to be hard to do.


For city driving, weight is your (second) worst enemy - the worst is the other traffic
Remove all unnecessary weight / objects from the car.
Wheels : choose them as light as possible if you ever want to change them.
Alloy wheels can be heavier than some steel wheels !

Thanks Euromodder

Firstly I don't have stop/start system and its not a hybrid also.
You are right wt is the worst enemy I usually keep it as low as possible,
sometime I think of getting rid of the extra tyre (stepni)
its too heavy for any hypermiler but then you have to think about sudden leakages also.
