I have a 2014 Toyota Sai (Japan import, similar to a camary) with 54,000kms (33,554 miles) on it.

It’s getting around 16km/L (37.6mpg) where as other people with the same car are getting around 20-22km/L (47-51mpg)

I got the battery tested by a mechanic and he said all the cells are healthy and deliver the correct voltage. I’ve also inflated the tyres to the correct pressure. Is there anything else I should be doing or checking to improve the fuel efficiency?

Thank you so much!

    Sorry, I have no idea how mpg or km/L translate to my good old L/100 km. I also was a bit alarmed wheN i couldn’t get the 3.5 L/100 in my Yaris Cross, then I realized it’s doable only: 1) in spring or early autumn when you don’t crank your A/C up too much 2) if you drive in a flat area 3) if you follow the eco indicator. Like, even on a highway it’s possible if you run at optimal speed, not the top speed allowed. Then 3.5 L/100 is doable. But in winter driving uphill when I’m late I will be getting up to twice that figure.
