They won't listen to you until you've done at least 5,000kms anyway. They need a larger timeframe to monitor it. We've had similar instances with VW customers. They expected ADR quoted figures on the first week.
I have done 6,000 now, will bring it up at 10,000km service but who knows where it will get me...
Denot said his uncle is beating ADR doing deliveries in the city..
I would ask how did he calculate the fuel consumption numbers? Unless he did the fill to the top, drive and refill to the top method, I don't trust the numbers.

Thats the way I do mine, fill to full and drive until the light comes on.. 40L -> 42L consistantly (depends on how quickly I can find a servo when the light comes on LOL)

What's your exact fuel consumption, say for the last tank that you filled? You gave a rough estimate of filling with 40-42L and driving 380-420km. Eventhough that sounds like a narrow range of numbers, it can give you anything from a best of 9.5L/100km to a worse of 11L/100km.
Last tank is a bad example as that was on holiday in the country, so 90% hwy driving...
hwy one was 7.22
3 city before that were: 9.36, 11.02, 10.94
How much throttle do you use when you take off from traffic lights? Your numbers are slightly better than an auto Euro with its bigger engine, but still loses out to the manual Euro. Maybe the R18a engine in the VTi is only fuel efficient at small accelerator positions.
Try driving with very light throttle for 1 tank to see if it improves dramatically. I usually take off slowly and let the old ladies in the 2.2 auto camrys zoom off into the distance.
Yes new engines takes time to adjust so they consume a little bit more pertol, i was getting 480 km on 40 litres but since i have worn the engine in 35000KM now i get 550 KM. Ever since i installed 19" weighing 100kg+ it does 500KM.
