I am ashamed to say that's how much my car does.
I mentioned it to DF's BIL and he said 'that's actually... not that great...' to which DF overheard and replies: 'it's great considering how whitestripe drives'
(!!!) 
Lets go, pedal to the metal!
So DebtFreeMe was the closest guess, at 22km a litre.
Now I have made it a goal of reducing that by nanny-driving (driving like your grandmother is in the back seat).
I will be filling the tank up on the way home from work today. Let's see how THAT goes!
12.26km per litre! :O

I take it that Australian cars follow the lead of American cars in not being very efficient ?
My small family car does between 64kms per litre (heavy traffic town driving) and up to 91 kms per litre on a motorway (driving at 90 kms per hour). It really sips like a itty bitty kitty kat !! :-)

You wouldn't necessarily need to nanny drive - maybe just try shaving 5 - 10 miles/hr (sorry have no idea of the conversion to km) of your normal speeds, use down hills to your advantage (i.e. coasting when possible.) Use the ac only when traveling at high speeds (above 55 mph) otherwise use the window down method ...

and it's a nissan pulsar, so it was made in japan.
on second thoughts, there are some things that i could do to make it better, maybe i should do an additional experiment. this week has been hot and cold, so some days i have used the heater and other days the aircon, and i have had to do a lot of driving up hills. and also i normally use E10 fuel, so i guess if i bite the bullet and put premium in my car it might be a bit more fuel efficient. so i will do those things and see how i go!

Some small tips:
Drive in as high a gear as possible - if your car is a manual. If its an automatic, there may not much you can do - I think automatics are harder on fuel.
Accelerate to cruising speed quickly. Cruise at a rpm thats comfortable for the engine - don't work the engine too hard - you can tell by listening to it..
Try not to stop and start too much... you can do this by keeping your distance from the car in front so you don't have to break hard if they suddenly slow down.... Try to "time" traffic lights while you're s good distance away from them... etc
I'm sure you'll find more tips of your own !!

I get 64 kms to 91 kms per gallon
which is
14.2 kms to 20.2 kms per litre....
Copped it today while driving....
So... your 12.26 per litre is not that bad after all !! :-)
In fact it sounds about right since the Pulsar would be substantial bigger than my car....probably has a bigger engine too... (this may actually be more efficient than a smaller engine coz it will take less work to move the car).
Anyways... don't you have to love Japanese Cars !! hehe
