I'm nowhere near that with my 60 D5.. In 10000kms I've done so far, I was NEVER able to get it under 8L/100kms (35 mpg?) but it stays under 9L/100kms (31mpg), no matter how I drive it (I just returned from a trip to Germany- doing 180+km/h for hours- and the consumption was around 8.7..)

I am surprised with a relatively small difference between urban/extraurban I achieve.. I expected the extraurban (80-120km/h) to be closer to the factory numbers (well, 5.5L/100kms is sci-fi I suppose- but I was hoping for say 6.5-7..) whereas I thought urban cycle would return 10-11L, realistically..
