Why is my Mercedes-Benz E-Class getting poor fuel economy in city driving?

Many E-Class owners in Pakistan experience significantly lower mileage when driving in urban areas with heavy traffic. What are the main reasons behind poor fuel efficiency in stop-and-go conditions, and how can it be improved?

Poor fuel economy in city driving is common due to:

Stop-and-Go Traffic: Frequent acceleration and braking increase fuel consumption significantly.

Idling: Sitting in traffic jams wastes fuel without covering distance.

Air Conditioning Use: Constant A/C usage in hot Pakistani cities puts extra load on the engine.

Weight and Load: Carrying heavy loads o r extra passengers affects mileage.

Driving Style: Aggressive driving with rapid acceleration and hard braking reduces fuel efficiency.

How to improve: Adopt smoother driving habits, minimize idling, use A/C wisely, and try to reduce unnecessary weight in the car.
