Assuming 75p/litre for fuel it's using about 10.3 gallons so is doing about 28MPG. If a fair bit of the mileage is urban then it's about right. If it's all free flowing NSL roads then it's a bit crap. Mind you it does depend no whether you've altered your driving style to take advantage of the new found oomph.
