Hi there.
I have a 2.3I MY92. In the winter I get 10-11 litres per 100 Km. In the warmer summertime I get 7-9 Litres per 100 Km.
Tips! ALWAYS use NGK plugs. And it ahould ALWAYS be "R"-plugs, having Direct Ignition. Your type is the BCPR-7ES-11. About oil, use fully synthetic Mobil 1, 5W-50 or 0W-40. Shorter cold starts and a little more miles to the gallon. Use an K&N air-filter in the original airbox.
And then there's the main fuel-saving-factor: YOU!!! This car has excellent rolling capacity - USE IT! I often push the gear into neutral, when I approach turns or red lights. The car easily rolls half a mile. Also, use the yellow indicator when driving. Often a little thing as lifting your foot slightly - say 1-2 millimeters - will give much less fuel-consumption.
Last: If your in the states, why don't you set the display to show miles per gallon instead of Km per litre!?
