I wasn't comparing the consumption of a Fiat Punto to your data: While the real consumption of an Audi 7 Sportback or Mercedes CLS 350 is of course higher than the advertised 5.6-5.8 l/100 km (for the Audi 7, for example): Auto, Motor Sport and Auto Bild magazines tested an average of 8.3/8.4 litres/100 km.

There is no need to exaggerate (already great!) data IMO, it only makes it vulnerable.
If you read my mail than you will realize I compare to my personal situation therefore there is no exaggeration there. I drove a Porsche Cayman S and had an average consumption of about 13 liter in real live.
I did not speak for any other cars nor said its average in Germany but frankly many cars have a similar consumption.
For the calculation I used only 11 liter which is therefore the opposite of exaggeration.
That makes the example conservative.
For those are interested I paid for the last greater 2 year service €3,200 for almost nothing just oil change, break fluid change and break maintenance. If you compare that to the almost non existing service cost driving an BEV the example shows even better how superior an BEV is versus an ICE in costs.
And for those discussing Tesla service quality let me add that the Porsche service is the worst I ever experienced.
