Thanks
I thought I had replied earlier but ... can't find the reply.

The main reason is, that I measured the mentioned 5,2L/100km for about 14 times, and after the oil change I measured only once the 4,6L/100km.
The only thing I can say: I do everything in the same way than 14 times before - except the oilchange - and the lower consumption came.

All I can say : I'm stunned
Even the 5.2 L/100km (45mpg US) is still very good.
The convertor sites don't take a European "," but need decimal "."
Maybe that caused a problem ?

All what I do:
- keep moderate speed (80-85km/h)

That's likely what explains your excellent mileage.
It's a sweet spot on my car as well, but usually I can't drive it anywhere (sometimes, trailing a truck on the motorway)
Have you tried coasting - gliding in neutral, maybe even with the engine off ?

- turn off the engine when I stop for more than 30sec.

Works only during the day for me - these bloody modern cars turn off the lights when the ignition is killed.

Another anomaly: cars what I've driven, don't use much more fuel when I use AC. The difference can't be more then 0,1-0,2L/100km.

It only draws a lot of power when it has to cool the car down from high temperature. Maintaining the temperature draws far less power - I can only see it when I have cruise control engaged.
Without CC, the difference is unnoticeable.
