I tend to back off to encourage a gear change (dual clutch auto), before depressing the accelerator a little further, thus using the torque of the engine more effectively.

Similar driving my previous BF would use around 14L/100km, I believe mainly due to the time spent driving with the motor still warming up.

Very happy with everything on the LW Trend so far!
That is what I was hoping it would be around so I am happy to hear.
