Your calculated mileage is on the low side for a 3.0. Two things to check. Firstly, your 95 RON is about 89 AKI, which may be fine as long as it really is 95. If it is any lower than 95 in practice, that can reduce your mileage. Try 98 and see if it changes. Secondly, confirm how much fuel you are really purchasing. Don't trust the OBC, buy fuel and measure the distance, then calculate it manually. Then change fuel stations, and see if the mileage changes. It is possible that your fuel retailer is skimming by pumping less than the indicated amount.
