fuel economy less than promised?

Did you know that you can save fuel and run your car on water
Edward P questioned:
I bought a 2008 get out of Avenger. The promised fuel state is around 9.8L/100km (that is, 100% city driving). The experimental fuel state is more like outrageous 13~14L/100km and I always keep the rpm between 2000~2500rpm.
Is here anything I can do with the car dealer or car maker? If the car I’m driving is not defective, is here anything I can do to get my cash back? I mean, with fuel efficiency like that, I’d very handbook a Hummer.
I have already adopted smarter driving skills long ago. I accelerate reasonably at a snail's pace (slower than the general flow of conveying). I also tend to brake the smallest amount number of era. I never turn on A/C, don’t ordinarily open windows, etc etc. I batter to N when it’s a gentle downhill so I can glide all the way. All in all, here is NO WAY to reduce fuel mileage by unreliable my driving lifestyle. I just want to know what I can do about this fuel state scam.
Also, does anyone know why get out of vehicles have this annoying trend to sustain RPM? Even when I place my foot off the accelerator, it subdue retains 2,000rpm at 60km/h and yet the car is not sustaining speed at all.

A lot of this is the way you handbook. Also, if you run your defroster then the A/C compressor cycles on and off and that can reduce your mileage. Try this: When you accelerate infer here is an egg between your foot and the gas pedal. When you look yet to be and see a red set alight then take your foot of the gas and coast. The LESS you use the brakes the better your mileage will be.
Normally the fuel state numbers quoted do not take into tab stopping and starting and the way the engine operates when cold. This has lately altered.
To boost fuel state additional, keep an eye on trye pressures and handbook smart. Less acceleration and less braking. ie, judge the conveying etc, don’t be stoopping and starting all the time. As for the cash back bit, I can’t help you. Sorry.
EDIT: Hehe a name already made my main points but better!
Boy oh boy. That’s reasonably a discrepency. Johnny Carson used to spoof the ads where he’d imitate that mumble at the end of the ad…..”your milage may vary”…..
All’s such a rip off. I guess the grifters and con artists have stirred into main spill marketing. I’m worried to buy anything any more.
Here is no such business as promised fuel state. The numbers on the page is “estimated” below ideal driving conditions.
