Why Does My C-Class Run Out of Fuel Faster Than Expected Despite a Full Tank? Detail:

Many C-Class owners in Pakistan feel their car runs out of fuel quicker than other sedans, even after filling a full tank. Is this due to inaccurate fuel gauges, high engine consumption, o r driving habits in urban areas with frequent traffic jams?

There are several reasons your C-Class may feel like it runs out of fuel quickly in Pakistan:

Heavy city traffic in cities like Lahore o r Karachi drastically lowers fuel efficiency as low as 6–8 km/l.

Turbocharged engines consume more fuel under frequent acceleration.

Short trips with A/C on burn more fuel.

In some cases, fuel gauge sensors may not be calibrated accurately.

Solution:
Calculate your mileage manually after each refill km driven ÷ liters filled. This gives a more accurate idea of actual fuel usage than relying only on the dashboard.
