I recently spent 3 weeks in Italy driving a rented Fiat.
It got about 6.3 L/100kM ( 37 MPG) in ordinary driving.
Even at 150 kph (94 MPH!) on the Autostrade, with A/C on, it got 9 L /100kM (26 MPG).
That's carrying four people and four large luggage bags,

My DL1000 gets 45 miles per gallon at 90 mph, has a top speed somewhere around 135 mph, will do 0-60 in 3 seconds and emits less than half as much nasty stuff as a Camry.
Oh... Sorry... It's a motorcycle.
