I have a similar engine transmission combo, 2.3 liter DI turbo 10 speed but I’m lucky to average 22-23 MPG. Aerodynamics are far from ideal in a mid sized truck so you may be on to something. My F150s on the other hand averaged 13 ish. Paul
2.0L direct injection turbocharged engine, 8-speed transmission with tall gearing, and good aerodynamics make those numbers attainable. Lack of a strong headwind helped, while winter tyres added rolling resistance. You didn't comment on the average speed, which included a border crossing and slow traffic on a section of the QEW. Oh, and I thought the fancy car was in another image.
You're making me do math here with all that metric stuff. So, 7.2 litres per 100km is 1.9 gallons per 62 miles, which is 32.6 to the gallon. Not bad for a fancy car.

Paul has it right....I had a woman in my car, invited her for coffee, and joked that my car was so dirty there was grass growing on my hood...she laughed and agreed.
Now then, in sober retrospect, I am not sure of the provenance of this woman, 50ish, but very large, tall...but pretty enough...I told here she would be my Amazon.
It was nice...friendly, I drove her back to the supermarket where I met her...I have a number but....let me be honest...I should not be picking anyone up...also I was in the mist of an afib attack....so things were dicey, I have to put my fingers on walls or chairs to stay steady.
I am glad I made it home alive...but that gender in her may be confused (or not).
Believe me, I have enough trouble in my life...I don't need anymore mortal coil difficulties. (I'm fine, I just thought it was a funny story).
But I did thoroughly wash and clean my car yesterday...it gleams, I even Armor-alled the interior. Moi
Should you be making reference about the dust on the instrument panel glass then you’re right but so does mine and likely everyone else here. If not…then ignore I was even here. Paul
