  Not impossible. But, 7-9km/l is really very bad for vvt-i engines. My ride could reach 16-18 km/l, manual.

  I m driving before the 1k sevicing....as a result, I try not to accelerate my car beyond 3K rpm for the first 10,000 KM cos Corolla do not do factory run-in. Maybe this may help to save the fuel consumption.

  Altis 1.6 should get 12 - 14km per litre easily
  Altis 1.8 should get at least 10km per litre for heavy footers. Best at 15 - 16 km per litre.
  
  My average is 13 - 14km per litre (1.

  I know going on expressway with no jam is always the most fuel saving one.
