Then, I drove back and end up with 8.5 L/KM.
And now I have been driving in the city for over a month and a half my average mileage and present is 8.6 L/KM.

PS: I don't really know how these things work, but if this helps in anyway it'll be great.

I was just shifting at about 2.5rpm and when I was crusing I just put my car in Drive and set the cruse.

I hope I can continue to get this mileage.

10.5 liters per kilometer???? The space shuttle got better mileage! I hope you meant liters/100 kilometers!!
Don't understand how some are getting such bad mileage anyway. I know all city driving can be a killer but 10.5 average?
I am always at 7.3 and I drive the crap outta my car.
If you have an auto why would you manually shift at such low revs?
