it will vary on how you drive and when you fill up to. it may give you a differnt reading if you fill the tank when it has only half a tank of fuel in it. I usually look at the fuel usage one.

How many kms did you get on the trip meter before you filled up? (not how many til your tank is empty).
If i was you Erik i'd get the car checked out for any worn items in the engine bay, it appears the owner didn't really care about the car and who knows what they haven't had fixed?
Could be causing your poor fuel economy.

That's really poor economy mate, if i was you i'd get the mechanic to change ALL fluids, ALL filters, maybe even all the gaskets (prob done as its a major service anyway)? may cost you an extra 1-200 bucks but will have your car running like new.
There's no way it should be that bad.

its just the trip comp averaging ur driving. if u reset it and choose instant fuel and drive around town will be something like 18l/100 on the freeway and it will drop to about 7l/100. go for a drive on the freeway it will change.
