Hi, I am in New Zealand and own 2 Honda Jazz'es which is what they sell them here as and get the following fuel consumption:
1. 1.3 litre MT = 5.9 litres/100 kms
2. 1.5 litre 7 speed CVT = 6.4 litres/100 kms

Both with A/C on all the time and city/highway motoring.

These figures are from the on-board trip computer.

I think they work out over 45 MPG (Imperial) and am very pleased with it.
