using an assumption you are paying £1.35 per litre for fuel, that works out at about 31mpg. From what I've found combined mpg figures for your car were 43mpg. So if you live in the West Midlands (you are sitting in traffic at times and on 30-40mph roads) and have a heavy right foot, I would say that wouldn't be unusual.
