Welcome Rocky, I'm on tapatalk so can't see if you say in your signature whether it is a manual or auto. I would assume auto. How many kilometres have you done since it was last reset? If it was all city driving that is possible. Also, is it the 4 speed FD or 6 speed GD as 2012 was a changeover year. Best way to check is brim it, drive until light comes on, then brim it again and do the calculations. Apparently the diesel auto can get down to around 6.0 on agood trip.

Diesel can't fix stop/start traffic.
From memory I was getting just above 6 in my FD CW doing 70% highway.
On a pure highway run (loaded with family and luggage) it got low to mid 5's

:welcome: Rocky!
Yeah, so much depends on what you do with it. Do as above, then drive with your eyes on the economy reading, keeping your driving as conservative as possible. I started out a a virtual behatted Volvo driver getting low 4s out of my 5-speed manual.
