How does city vs. highway driving affect Honda City’s fuel consumption?

Many drivers notice a big difference between city mileage 10-14 km/l and highway mileage 14-18 km/l. How do factors like stop-and-go traffic, speed variations, and road conditions impact fuel efficiency?

Fuel consumption tends to be higher in city driving due to factors like frequent stops, low-speed driving, and idling at traffic lights. The Honda City’s fuel efficiency in urban conditions is typically around 10-14 km/l. In contrast, on highway trips, the car benefits from constant speed and less stop-and-go traffic, leading to improved fuel economy, often between 14-18 km/l. This difference is due to the fact that highway driving allows the engine to maintain a more consistent and efficient speed, while in the city, the engine frequently has to work harder to accelerate and decelerate.
