My computer show .8 lower than my actual fuel consumption. so if my computer display 5.2, I am actually doing 6.0.
You can use www.fuelly.com to calculate your real fuel economy, as tracking your odometer vs liters consumption is the only way to know for sure your real fuel economy.
I have no clue why our computers are so far off from the real thing!
Mine (SR automatic) vary from 6.0 best tank with 60% highway/40% city, to around 7.1 when I do 90% city with AC on full time.
In winter is a real pain...as my fuel economy can get as bad as 10.0 in worse cases with traffic jam, heating and lots of cold start/short trips to work.
Overall though, I am very pleased with the car fuel consumption.

After 15 tanks i'm showing a difference of .7 L/100km in the actual numbers, verse the display.
I average about 6.5L/100km and the display shows 5.7L/100km. This moves around, but is the average of what i get. My current tank is showing 5.4 L/100km which real world is going to bring in about 6.1 L/100km
Still great numbers...Enjoy the Car.
