This is OT ... but was shocked to get 10.5L/100km in a rental VE Commodore SV6 auto last week driven over 500km in Gold Coast/Brisbane/Sunshine Coast. I had it in Sport mode the whole time too, and wasn't sparing the horses. There was a fair bit of motorway cruising which probably explains the good result. Otherwise, the SV6 is a shit car. Noisy engine with nothing to back it up, tyre roar, control stalks are impossible to see, and A-pillar & rear visibility is crap.

As for the 135i, I'm pleased to be getting about 10.5-11.0 L/100km with only a few tanks gone in. The rev counter hasn't gone past 4500rpm (much) as I'm still to pass the magic 2000km mark.
