Fix the cat.

Beyond that, if it's the 04 2.0, that's the emissions strangled 4G63, which was on its last legs, by then... down to about 135 hp due to emissions... mated to an INVECS box with incredibly long legs. That's the only 2.0 auto sedan I've ever driven that felt like it was lugging in first gear! While a long final drive is good for highway cruising, it might be hurting you in traffic, where you'll feel the need to depress the gas a little more.

Beyond that, 8.4 km/l should be about average for that combo in light city driving... typically, those cars get 6 km/l or less in rush hour traffic here.
