Sounds a bit on the low side to me

Depends how much your paying - guessing 1.05 ish
and how heavy footed you are ;)

Is you car well serviced?  All filters recently changed?  Has it always been like this or has it got worse?

Just read your welcome thread, and see youve not had the car long....

I would start with a good service

Oil, Filter, Air Filter, Fuel Filter & Spark Plugs for starters

Maybe also run through a dose of injector cleaner like forte gas treatment, or stp injector cleaner.
See how it goes from there.

Also, does your engine management light come on, then go off when you start the car - ie Previous owner hasnt removed the bulb
