Since we're on claims, best I've ever done in mine is 5.8L/100km with an average speed of 78km/h at 0400hrs in the morning during winter with a trip of 18kM. No traffic, freeway.
The Lancer's tripometer is harsher than most. The L/100km is very stringent in its calculation. I would encourage you to do a Litres filled Vs Distance travelled calculation with a program like Road Trip for the iPhone. I've monitored by driving for over 2 yrs now using the s/w and I'm doing about 9.2L/100km on alternating 91 and 95 unleaded fills. And yes I do have a very heavy foot and paddle shift whenever I want to pick up.

Has your car been tuned? Either way, I'd love to see your ECU ROM file.
and what kind of traffic are you driving in?
IF it's stock and you do urban driving, that's a freak!!

I'm on about 9.4/100km using the trip computer long term figure i.e pressing manual option in the settings, mostly city driving. Can't get below 7 on freeway now unless I stick to 80kph. By no means the lancer is a small car but does chew more fuel compared to the corolla for example which could be lighter and also has a 1.8litre motor
Most of my gripes have been listed, some can be fixed though lol.
1. Cheap plastic door trims that are uncomfortable as armrests and very poor for a car promoted as the luxury model (Aspire).
2. Seats are uncomfortable for any decent trip. I regularly do a 230km drive with sometimes an instant return and no amount of changing the seat position etc helps. No lumbar support like even base magnas of previous generations or front/rear tilt on the base. I am not a big boy and the seat feels narrow, like it was built for a 5 foot japanese man with size 28 pants or smaller.
3. The climate control has a mind of its own, set to one temp, it just cant pick a constant, even when outer temp hardly changes.
4. The paint is the thinnest i've ever had on a factory finish. A friend does pre inspection at auctions and has found many of the models like ES's without side skirts look like they have been sand blasted on the rear doors and also states the paint is the worst he has seen among the cars he inspects in the current models range..
5. The gap between the engine and firewall is a recipe for disaster in regards to sound deadening and weight in front of the wheels.
6. Having to agree on the MMCS everytime you turn on the car, maps being so outdated even with an update, having to respond so many times to make a simple request like deleting a destination Press Menu>Route options>Destination/point>Delete>Would you like to delete>Yes, when audio controls cant all be used due to the concern you'll spend too long trying to change a setting. Changing a phone via blue tooth is just as silly with an extra response thrown in for no good reason. The rest of the issues are well discussed, being able to play DVD's is of no real purpose even sitting still as the seats are crap and the screen is at the wrong angle. Sun affects vision in alot of cases
8. Sunvisor on drivers side has never sat up on screen since new without falling down, tightening screws had no affect even though at 5,000kms one fell out.
9. Door rattles with speakers, will fix with tape or similar this weekend
10. Rims are probably too big for the car, great for aesthetics and wank factor, but ride is compromised (18inch plus ride has now become the norm so most dont notice).
11. The factory aerial has poor range unless a city drive near station, another aesthetics vs function derived issue.
12. The grille and front bar are floppy when pushed, grille can rattle on some good bumps.. Good for touch parking errors but always worried that the grille will fall off one day as it has some movement.
13. Cant tow more than 500km even if manual due to no strength in rear to cope, and towing harness needs relays in boot with the pickup point in the harness being just behind the rear seat. All you can hear in the back seat are the relays clicking away. (Cant blame that last part on factory I guess).
