Default What's your fuel consumption?

So I have been rather surprised to see my MPG reading about 26.4 after all the intensive cleaning (MAF sensor, throttle body, ICV, new plugs etc. I have also run two tanks of fuel system cleaner through- Now tell me, is this completely ludicrous or is my gentle grandma driving paying off after cleaning it all out?
hit it to km p/100L and it says 9 something so they both read the same dealio, just wondering What everyone else's reads! I've seen mostly 16, though I live out in the suburbs and take a lot of long roads wherever I go. Drive to work is about 30-40 mins on long country roads.

Hello, for my part, consumption of my jaguar 3.6 of 1989, is about 10 liters on road and highway and 13 liters in town with a flexible driving

The reading on the on-board computer is strange, in stabilized speed or acceleration, consumption is consistent. On the other hand in deceleration the consumption is incoherent because it increases ??? These are my observations.

Honestly, I don't keep track. On a drive across country from Boise Idaho to Michigan City- a trip of About 1742 miles- we averaged 25 mpg. Work and back, around town I'd guess about 16-18. Its a toy. If I cared I would know.
