    One factor is the lightness or heaviness of the traffic in your weekly route. Another is your driving habits (do you like to accelerate quickly or do sudden braking, etc). These does not even have to do anything with your car.

    As for your car:
    -engine condition - ignition timing, sparkplug condition, electrical system condition, cylinder compression
    -engine carb - is the carb clean and jets in good condition? Have you checked for the jets being eroded by E10 gasoline?
    -engine accessories - are the belts okay or too tight? Are the bearings still fine or do they need replacement? Does the alternator and compressor rotate easily?
    -suspension/wheels - is your wheels aligned and have the correct camber? Do you have correct air pressure in all tires? Are you using wide tires or narrow tires?
    -car interior - do you carry excess heavy baggage in your car? reducing weight will increase fuel efficiency.
    Traffic & heavy baggage is not an issue in my case I mean there's not much congestion in my route & been following fuel economy tips. I guess the next thing to do is to have my car checked as mention above. Thnx for being informative I'm learning a lot here =)
