Fuel efficiency often s in urban traffic due to frequent idling, stop-and-go driving, and congestion, which are common in Pakistani cities. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class, being a luxury sedan with a relatively powerful engine, consumes more fuel under these conditions because the engine doesn’t reach its optimal operating temperature and efficiency during short trips o r slow-moving traffic. Additionally, aggressive acceleration and braking typical in city driving reduce mileage. To improve fuel economy, drivers should adopt smoother acceleration, avoid unnecessary idling, and use features like the ECO mode if available. Regular servicing to ensure the engine runs efficiently also helps optimize fuel consumption in city traffic.
