> 13.2 km/l

For diesel, this is really really bad. Most gasoline cars will run more economic than this, let alone diesel. If your diesel runs less then 17 to 18 km/l something is wrong.

(my opinion is based on how things are in .nl, other parts of the world can and will be different of course)

Yeah 13.2km/l for a diesel is quite terrible if we’re talking regular cars. I personally average in the 20 to 25 range with mine.
