I average 34 Mpg (6.91 l/100K) over the 43,000 miles (70,000 K) in the last 18 months since I bought the car.
The major factor is how much motorway driving you do compared to city.
For example I drive 140 (225 K) miles each day going to and from work and I fill up every other day with about 8 gallons (30 L) . I do this at 70 - 80 MPH (110 - 125 Kph) on the freeway and 30 (45 kph) or so on the surface streets. It is about 98% freeway. Add to this a few miles here and there and I do 300 (480 K) miles every 2 days.
On the other hand
The other week I did 300 miles all in town and had to fill up 8 gallons (30 L) at 220 (354 K) miles rather than the 300 (480 K) that I normally do.
It all depends on the road mix of your driving, your heavy or light foot, shift points in a manual, and quite a few other factors. Looking at your reported (430 K) 267 miles. This says to me that you are driving in town more than 50%, or heavy footed or both.
All in all your not very far off of normal. A few slight adjustments and you would be right in the reported range.
