Perhaps you need to have your EDU (or its sensors) checked. Is that 52mpg average or instantaneous? Instantaneous mpg can be very high, e.g. if you are coasting downhill at 70mph with your foot off the throttle. The instantaneous mpg reading is helpful for economical driving. The average is the one to keep an eye on for overall vehicle/driver performance.
My employer pays for my petrol so for tax purposes I need to keep track of mileage and how much petrol I have put put in my car (I have done this for my previous two 9Ks as well) and have found the EDU on each car to agree closely with my independently calculated fuel consumption.
My 2.0L '87 9K used to average 37 miles/imp. gal (29.5 miles/US gal) when I commuted to work across country, my '90 2.3CD got about 27 miles/imp. gal (21.6 miles/US gal) around town (I moved closer to work) and my '96 Aero gets about 30 miles/imp. gal(24 miles/US gal) around town and 39 miles/imp. gal (31 miles/US gal) on a long run.
