I think that comments coming from the owner of car rather than the ones acting the keyboard warrior and pulling faces at what others have to say should count dear. Furthermore, according to driving professionals racing your car through the streets with the pedal floored fully would fail to economise your fuel bill even with an electric vehicle.
On the other hand, if you drive your car at 100 or 105 while letting its speed climbing-up at a standard rate. The manner can give you even 20 kms, to get more info on economical driving tips, consult Bhai Usman.
However, like I said before, you are a keyboard warrior therefore I shall not waste my breadth in arguing with you and wait for a professional to answer me.

18km per liter on gli? Not even in your wildest dreams.
And yes a 4 speed auto with an old 1.3 engine pulling an overweight car will definitely be sluggish. Nothing confusing about it.

You may be right, however, we are satisfied with our Gli, the tax on which by the way is far lower than the amount even a filer has to pay every year and fuel consumption is also okay (18 Kms per litre).
On another note, doesn’t sluggish mean lazy? I am scratching my head while pondering on your use of word for Gli (AT) because it is fine and never whines while overtaking trucks even on a single track connecting Mirpur and Digree (both are one of cities of Sind province and come your way while enroute to Diplo).
