My tune is not optimized for fuel consumption and I have not measured it very accurately but on a highway I am getting 18 mpg which according to one of the online conversion calculators is approx. 13 l/100km, i.e about 7.7 km/liter. Don't remember what it was when it was CIS.

For some reason, if I keep the car at 80, the turbo is not even spooled up and I am over 20mpg. that is on the highway. Around town it is a big pig..but it is fast and outrageous , plenty of fireworks etc. That`s what we have them for

20 litres / 100km for in town commuter driving. Drops to 12 L/100km on the highway, maybe a little better on 2 lane roads

and why are we driving turbos and worrying too much about fuel consumption?
20l/100 in town is about what I get if I hit the rev limiter at least once on every outing!

I get 18-20 mpg crusing @ 65-70 in 4th with AFR's around 14-14.2. No idea what city driving mileage is, or when I'm in a "frisky" mood on the back roads.

Jeebus, it is definitely a case of YMMV. I get about 10-11 mpg with my turbo, primarily city driving, but at night so not much traffic. AFR at cruise is about 15.5 since I put in the Innovate and I need to richen it up a little to 14.5 or so. However, at WOT I am at 10.5 at 7000 rpm, so I need to turn the fuel enrichment down a notch.

Yep, if we were that concerned about fuel economy we wouldn't be driving 930s!
