Please bear in mind that city driving is different from heavy city traffic driving. Kahit po motor yan, and its on a standstill traffic, it is running on 0kms/liter. Maganda po ipost nyo ang average speed nyo for better reference.

If you want additional help to get a better picture regarding your fuel consumption, in Android and IOS look for the application "A Car" or if you are using Windows phone use "My Car"
Make it a habit to record your transaction every fill up in a gas station then view the statistical reports in the app in order for you to make a better decision later

The window sticker fuel efficiency rating was established using controlled driving, that is: no traffic jams, vehicle at curb weight(no passengers and cargo) and driven on long distances. The average mpg is then averaged. Don't expect your car on your road conditions and distances you drive to do the same. You'll just get frustrated

I had the same experience with our Ford Fiesta Ecoboost. I'm only getting 6km/L and that's mixed city and hiway driving. Now after the 1Tkm mark I'm getting 9-10km/L mixed also. Basta hindi ko ilalagpas ng 3k rpm kase doon gagana ang turbo ng ecoboost yun daw malakas gas saka 60-80kph lang speed ko. Hehe! Try mo Total Excellium or Seaoil 95/97 or PTT okay din kase meron samin. Okay naman performance nila.

Practice your own eco-driving rather than rely on your computer when to shift. Try doing these:
- Get to the highest gear as soon as possible, at the lowest rev the car can muster. Downshift as necessary but upshift as soon as you can. Feel the car, the computer can't do that for you.
- Steady as she goes. Stick to ideal speed, don't oscillate. Those mm pedal adjustments cost you additional injected fuel with no gain
- monitor your tire pressure, set at the highest recommended as you can tolerate. The less rolling resistance, the better. Bouncier, but thrifty
- Your brake pedal robs you of distance. Practice engine braking before stoplights, gentle pedaling to stop the car. A jerking stop is the same as jack rabbit start, waste of motion
- Fill her up during the colder times of the day. Fuel expands a bit when hot, you lose some mass at high fuel temps.
- Set acu temp to 'comfortable' not 'arctic'. If you can take it, use natural ventilation instead.
- practice good housekeeping. Dead weight adds to fuel use.
- Finally, avoid traffic as best you can. You should check online apps to plan your route better. As always, the earlier the better.

TS,
First of all, you're still into your break in period. TALAGANG MALAKAS YNG FUEL CONSUMPTION MO DURING THAT STAGE. Like what the other forumers have stated, only after this period will the real fuel efficiency of the vehicle reveal itself.
IMHO, mas maganda magtest ng fuel efficiency during long drives. Kasi yng speed variable kahit paano eh constant. City driving will all be an average of your day-to-day driving experience along the same route. You may cover the same distance in the same amount of time. But that may not mean that the no. of times you stopped and stepped on the gas will be the same everyday. Eg. Today you complete your route in 30 mins from point A to point B. Tomorrow, you may complete the same route in the same time but you had to spend 10 more minutes in idle because of some traffic obstruction 10 meters from point A. After that, smooth sailing to point B.
Just my 3 cents
sinabi moh! i hardly see my children now. when they were young, schedules were more predictable.
Traffic!
