we're in the same boat bro, i have an 05 starex crdi a/t and it also consumes 5km/l city driving. but i suspect that this is due to my daily route which is our traffic ridden city streets. no matter how light my foot is talagang 5km/l lang, surprisingly pag binabanatan ko yung gas pedal i also get the same consumption.
but when i took it out of town for the first time sa bicol, i manage to average a respectable 8.5km/l on mixed highway and city driving with lots of stopovers with the engine idling pa. city driving is really killing our fuel consumption, moreso if mas maiksi ang routes mo like mine (6km only balikan).
