I would check if any leak is undergoing.
Again, 'mentepazza', depending upon how it is driven; we regularly achieved significantly more than the figure you quote.

I agree with you regarding the possibility of a leak, though. Either that, or some other fault such as a worn carburettor, for example. Fitting electronic ignition improved consumption a little too, as well as being more reliable than conventional points.
