And I can get my display to say 8.something/100kms BUT the display is incorrect.  There have been many posts regarding the display inaccurracies.
I drive my little Eos TDI 8) Monday-Friday getting 7/100kms in the city traffic and 15c/litre discount (lease vehicle with a fuel card)  . The D3 is the weekend warrior to enjoy what it was built for.  06 TDV6 SE with many LR and after-market extras. Used only on weekends and trips out west.

I should think so DT ....... after all,you paid for a diesel engine. 
Toyota LR100 4.2 diesel averages 9.5 when I fuelled them on big trips......just using fuel bought vs.
distance covered......as used to calculate D3 petrol on Townsville return weekends
If I drive like a Nutter, it does not exceed 12.5
D3 diesel consumption never was that good

That's good for the D3.
I wonder if there's a "minimum to function" with small cars.....even 900kg stuff ?

Maybe I'm looking at different exchange rates. This morning it was 0.49 approx.
This equates to GBP1.329 = AUD2.69 (per litre)
AUD12.23 per imperial gallon 06 TDV6 SE with many LR and after-market extras. Used only on weekends and trips out west.
