Is that calculated consumption rate or indicated fuel consumption by the trip computer?

If calculated, the only way he can get those sort of numbers is by having predominantly highway kms

No way can you achieve that efficiency with city driving

apart from the economy bit it seems pretty similar to other articles on these, to me in certain traffic conditions 16 lp 100 k would seem about average to me for a big engined car, its not a lot to crow about though .
