Just would like to take some times to continue my next chapter..
Done another 100km today, mainly city drive, jammed, lots of traffic light, waiting in the car and so on...this lead to the FC dropped significant to 16km/l ( from 20km/l) and range dropped from 1k+ to 700+ and still dropping. Surprisingly, the auto stop doesn't causes the aircon to produce hot air, the air con is as good as when the engine is running. I've to test further if the ( auto stop ) functions will start the engine when it detected that it's no longer producing cool air due to very hot weather or too often of stoppage ( BMW 520i having the function to auto start again when the engine need the power even the break is being continuing press )
Since when does the auto stop stop the aircon as well? Ive driven auto stop cars in Germany and none of them produce hot air. The air con cooling drops a bit for sure but its still cold air.

And just to correct your statement on FC above. When u said the consumption 'dropped' from 20km/L to 16km/L, it means that your consumption increased not dropped. 20km/l means you car travelled 20km on 1L of fuel while in city driving your car could only travel 16km on 1L of fuel. This shows an increase in FC not a decrease.
