Just got my i10 last week. So far, I've been only getting 7-8 km/lfc in city driving (mandaluyong-makati). I even turn off the engine when stuck in traffic. Any advice will be much appreciated.

sabi sa casa gaganda daw ang fc after ng break-in period. Is it true mga sirs? Currently nasa 700 km na odo reading ko
Depende sa traffic na dinadaanan yan ng TS. My Mirage in an extreme traffic also nets 7-8km/l, mostly 9s. 1.2L CVT akin.
Curious lang ako TS, bakit hindi 1.2L AT ang kinuha mo? Negligible naman difference nila (price-wise).
light to moderate naman ung traffic dun sa route ko. sabi ng dealer wala na daw 1.2 kasi same lang daw fc sa 1.4 (i think he's referring to the accent).
based on experiences of my friends, they only get a an average of 10 kpl, for the same variant as yours. one of them averages around 11 kpl at pure city driving and around 14 kpl at pure highway.
but then there are several factors:
a) driving style. since maliit ang makina, gigil ka sa acceleration to get power, resulting in higher FC.
b) traffic conditions.
in your condition, malamang stop and go traffic ka....
anong oil ang gamit mo? baka mas magimprove pa kung fully synth oil ang gamit mo. tsaka anong fuel din ang gamit mo? sa akin kasi, i get lower fuel economy when i am using the lower octane variants (e.g. unleaded). so that is why i switched to the next octane variant (XCS, etc....)
yung ginagawa mo na patay engine will not work, but will accelerate draining of your battery, imho.

thanks for the inputs
1 week pa lang ung kotse. If budget permits, I'll use fully synthetic sa first PMS. unleaded po gamit ko (tried shell, caltex and petron). so far ok ung petron.
Ako May 4 nakuha i10 ko. 1.1 na AT variant. Before my 1st PMS, average kong FC mixed city highway driving 11km/L. After my 1st PMS, nakaka 14km/L nako mixed city/hway. Regular oil lang pinalagay ko. Sa 5k PMS ako pa palagay ng fully synthetic oil. Route ko everyday Pulilan to BGC to Makati. Odo reading ko 3060 na.
Petron extra unleaded nga pala pinaka ok na gas nasubukan ko. Maya post ako picture ng fuel Gumagamit kasi malapit na mag empty, yung reading ng trip meter ang actual km na nakuha ko sa isang full tank.
