Should a 1.8 n/a be using 10.7 L/100km? Seems way out of the ordinary, it was doing much better than that for a while after we bought it (8-9L/100km).
New engine and rear diff fluids and filters last week.

I drive a little aggressively but most driving is on the highway (110-120km/h).

Obviously there are many possibilities but it's just pissing me off.

Forgot to add that it's a manual and been using 91 RON lately to test fuel economy and also considering it is 15c/L cheaper than 95 its still got to be good value even if I get less range but I'll compare it after a few tanks of 95 (filled up today) and then a few tanks of 98.

It just seems that as soon as I'm on the highway at 110-120 I can watch the gauge move.

I have also noticed that the fuel gauge moves around more than any other car I've driven.
