Vladberca, what I've found interesting is the large variance between urban and extra-urban consumption. Extra-urban, it's really really good, I got 5.9l/100km on a long trip driving at around 125km/h in Eco Pro.

Under normal urban driving conditions with the occasional sport driving section thrown in though, I find that I struggle to get below 9l/100km. If I try really really hard on my 5-10km trips around town here, I barely get in the low 8s. For a short 2km trip from home to the office, I simply cannot get it below 11, as much as I try. I've found that at idle and parking, it eats fuel at a rapid rate, often 16 or so. My previous car, a Renault Megane 1.6 (albeit with only 83kw) consumed a bit less in short-distance urban driving conditions...
