    Tama yung kay number001, we get around 8km/L+ in city driving with our a/t D4d; pag driver nakaka-7km/L minsan. With the m/t version we had before, 11km/L in the city siya.

    It all depends on your driving style. You can get the best fuel consumption by keeping your rpm (on 4th gear) at around 2000rpm or below. That's around 80-90kph. Avoid jack rabbit starts. In a A/T transmission the gears shifts at a certain rpm range. The faster you drive the longer it will take for the gears to shift thus you consume more fuel. It also depends on traffic condition. The heavier the traffic the more you stay on a lower gear and the more you consume fuel.

    My Innova G D4D A/T averages 9-10km/liter on city driving. Highway driving 13-14km/l.

    A/T cars of the past 10 years or so have about the same FE as M/T. Driving habits and poorly maintained engine or transmission has a lot more to do with bad FE. With the advent of smarter ECM/PCMs, modern A/Ts shift gears based on engine load, speed, and driver aggressiveness, among others. In other words, it can pretty much mimmick how a human driver would shift, up to a certain extent. Besides that, using lock-up clutches, torque converter losses are almost eliminated.

    Not a Toyota, but I have a Civic 1.8S A/T. It runs up to 14-17kM/L on the highway and 9-10km/L in light city traffic. I have a very light foot.
