on £20 of fuel if your getting 135km that is about 84 miles which comes out at about 21 mpg.I was getting about 24 mpg out of my old 2.4

when i got my 3lt i reset the trip so i could check the milage to work to find out if it had been converted or not but it has so it may pay to do a trip where you know the distance and reset the trip to check if yours has been converted or not

more than lickley its in kms and 16 mpg allowing for inaccuracies could be right
if you do the readings over a greater distance you will get a more accurate figure and hopefuilly you will get a better mpg it should be over 20 mpg unless you are towing or ragging it.
