Anyone facing poor fuel average with MG HS in city driving?

I’m getting around 7–8 km/l in city traffic with my MG HS, which seems way too low for a 1.5L turbo engine. I drive carefully, avoid hard acceleration, and still cant improve it. Is this normal for Pakistani road conditions, o r is something wrong with my car?

Yes, many MG HS users in Pakistan report poor city mileage, typically between 6.5–9 km/l, depending on driving style and traffic. This is disappointing for a 1.5L turbo engine.

Possible reasons:

Turbocharged Engine: Turbos consume more fuel in stop-start traffic due to frequent acceleration.

Heavy Body Weight: MG HS is a relatively heavy vehicle, which affects mileage.

DCT Gearbox: The transmission may not shift efficiently in city driving.

Traffic Conditions: Pakistani urban roads involve a lot of idling, hard braking, and acceleration.

Tips to improve mileage:

Use Eco Mode for better fuel economy.

Keep tires properly inflated and get regular tuning.

Avoid unnecessary idling, especially with AC on.

Try manual mode in traffic for better gear control.
