Without your average KM/H...your fuel consumption is all a guess. Comparing fuel consumption with others without considering average KM/H (or MPH)...its comparing apples to oranges (a big mistake in most threads on this topic).
If someone has a higher average KM/H (MPH) versus someone with a lower average...when comparing fuel consumption...then one with the higher average will usually always appear to be getting better fuel consumption.
Heavy city/urban driving with lots of stop-n-go, higher engine revs from multiple take-offs from traffic lights & stop signs...heavy braking ...engine idleing while stopped/not moving...all will result in a low average KM/H (MPH) and higher fuel consumption versus someone driving long miles on a highway with a constant engine RPM, little braking, and no engine idling.
