That's about normal. I get about 13.5km in my 1.6i (With no revving the car all the way to 6000rpm)

The onboard computer tells you your consumption.
On my car it shows the current consumption, and total average consumption since the last reset.
It's usually quoted in l/100km, I have no idea why people use the retarded notation of km/l.

a better measure would be to fill up your car, drive 100km then fill it up again and measure how much you put in.
the normal way is to take you tank size and then the amount of km you can do on that tank. ie
tank 40l
distance covered 600km
and then 40/6 = 6.666666666

When I fill up my car, I reset the distance-measure-thingy on the dash. Next time I fill up, I take the number of km's driven divided by the litres of fuel put in, to get the km/L.
If I accelerate slowly and don't drive faster than 120km/h, I get around 22km/L with my 0.6L ZZR.

Nha its an estimate....drive till tank says "EMPTY" fill up, zero kilo counter.....drive till tank says "EMPTY" again.....check kilos driven, check litres put in
kilos driven
----------- = kilos/litre
Litres put in
Lol
I wish i could say the same. I have a very heavy foot!

I am of the old school, grew up with miles per gallon, l/100km tells me nothing.
As long my car gets 28m/g it's OK because it corresponds to 10l/100km.

well my 1.6 does 11L/100k's but that is with mostly 6500RPM before changing..
if i drive like a normal person its about 8L/100Km on the reading thing.
though my 1.6 is 88kw
What car do you have? My stock Opel Kadett 160is pushes 77kw.
