Brakes, tyre pressures. And the fact it has been fooking freezing recently, which drops my consumption quite a bit! 2014 D4 XS

Really depends on what roads/speeds etc your doing but that's about what my wife gets with short commutes to work and back  And outside temp can make a big difference too

Short journeys and driving like a tight  , blakes ok, pressures ok, airfilter changed couple of weeks ago, sounds like its normal, oh its a manual too.
