Fuel Consumption

I loaded up 21.46 Liters of unleaded gasoline on my Kia Picanto 2008 and after days of use I have recorded 243.1 Kms on my odometer before the fuel warning lighted on. So as we do the math, 243.1/21.46 = 11.328 Km/L. Not so bad for mixed city and highway driving, actually it's more on a city driving while using the aircon all the time. Soaring prices of gasoline helped me decide to buy the Kia Picanto as it claims to be a very fuel efficient car. Well i'm expecting it to reach 13-14 Km/L on city driving but it doesn't meet what I have expected. Maybe after I reached 1000 Km on my odometer then it will be more fuel efficient as I am still breaking-in my Kia Picanto.
