My EB2 gets 12-13 l/100km with a mix of city and freeway and up to 14.5l/100 in town on regular unleaded,hows that compare?

14.5 in town? dont stress out, just means u got a slightly heavy foot, i normally get that in my NA. if i drive like a lawnbowls grandpa i can get 13.1 out of it... even 12.9 haha.

Yeah those figures are tolerable, but as has been mentioned, it is possible to improve on them by changing your driving technique slightly.

You have heavy foot sindrome like me.... drive like a grandpa and you will get below 14.
