So what do you say we post the following details

Vehicle :

Are these figures ones by trip computer or calculations between actual fill-ups? My dad has a 2007 Axio and in general it does 11-12kmpl from what I know. Then again he doesnt drive it with fuel economy in mind. Do these change a lot when you drive a bit aggressively?

These are calculated figures dude. And I'm an aggressive driver as well.

Considering that is more than what I got on my Pajero in East Timor with not so bad traffic that is pretty damn good

lol, was about to point that out.

Usually it should be 30 or 32 PSI that's recommended by the manufacturer, for my car it's 32 for front and 30 for rear, though I stick to 30 for all.

Seriously dude! AC @ 30C ?
