My new wagon just turned 2000 km and on the last tank I average 9.1L / 100 km mostly city driving --- and for a car that weighs 3140 lbs with me and a full tank of gas --- that's not too bad.
BTW - I actually went to Husky and put the car on the scales ... with me at 240 lbs that means the wagon (with moonroof and 5 speed and a pair of kid's seats) weighs 2900 lbs.
