@J JOSE I have the 2017 JGC and the average FE is between 8.4 to 8.9 in city. On long drives I get over 10.5 kmpl. If I were you I'd weigh my options and preferences carefully as this would be a long term investment. Since you only want a vehicle to use to office and back with no intentions to use it offroad and particular about the FE, why are you looking at a 4x4? You rather invest in a good sedan with all the features that you need and it may work out cheaper overall and give you a way better FE. Back to the JGC, I have driven it almost 40k km in a year and have had absolutely no issues in terms of road usage or stability but if you do ever have issues, it is going to be more expensive to fix compared to your other options. As a person who loves cars, I'd say don't only go with FE unless you are really driving a lot as in time you will regret it and will always have that voice inside you saying ' I should have gone with what I really wanted'. Speaking from experience here. 😥

Congrats @edouard

@Gaurav how many fewbie drives should we have attended to qualify as fewbie +.

A roll of duct tape can also be very useful. Don't have it yet but will add it this week.

I have it linked to my credit card from Emirates NBD. When the balance drops below AED 20, it automatically tops up for another AED 50. If you do run out of currency on your salik, you will get an SMS the next time you pass a toll gate and have 48 hours to top up before you are fined. This happenned to me once before I set it up with the bank.
