Obermd said it well.
I have a couple of questions/observations. First of all, if its really cold outside (well below 0 deg C) and you're doing short trips plus driving with a fairly heavy foot or through mountainous terrain, I'd think you'd see fuel consumption in the 10-14 liters/100km range especially with winter-blend gasoline. Do any or all of those factors apply to your situation?
Also, what kind of fuel consumption do you see in warm weather while driving for economy (i.e. steady 100 km/hr, no wind, no A/C, windows up, etc)? It this is in the 8 liters/100 km area, I think the car seems to be okay.
My car (1.4T, 6-spd man) gets about 6-7 liters/100 km is summer and up to about 8 liters/100 km in winter here in Michigan ... a noticeable difference for sure.
