Honda claims that the Honda City delivers a fuel efficiency of 14-18 km/l, but many owners in Pakistan report getting lower mileage than the advertised figures. Several factors contribute to this discrepancy. Driving conditions in Pakistan, especially in urban areas, involve frequent stop-and-go traffic, which can significantly lower fuel efficiency. Fuel quality is another critical factor many fuel stations in Pakistan sell low-quality o r adulterated petrol, which can affect engine performance and reduce mileage. Engine maintenance also plays a role—if the engine components like the air filter, fuel injectors, o r spark plugs are not well-maintained, fuel consumption can increase. Additionally, driving habits, such as aggressive acceleration o r idling, can negatively impact fuel economy.
