Real-world fuel efficiency of my Seltos, compared to 5th-gen City

Yes DCT will drink more compared to CVT, but in city traffic driving NA Engine is effortless.

So finally during today's TFTF Method my numbers went below 10 although it showed 10.5 Kmpl in Dashboard.

My usage to Home Office is consistent for both Seltos FL & City 5G and the routes are also same.

Also I feel the FE has increased post the Software Update at least in city traffic or may be my car has slowly opened up and drives are much smoother now.

Here's what BHPian bizi05 replied:

I typically travel with my family, and for their safety, I always drive with a light foot on highways, making sure not to exceed 100 km/h. I also avoid hard acceleration and sudden braking, which might be why I was getting such good mileage from my Seltos GTX+ 1.5T petrol before. I used to consistently achieve excellent fuel economy, with the MID often displaying figures as high as 19.7 km/l during long drives. However, since the ECM update, I have noticed a significant drop in fuel efficiency. Now, the MID never shows any figure above 16 km/l, regardless of any driving style. I've attached a screenshot of my Seltos MID from a previous long drive when the fuel economy was much better.
