All I can say : I'm stunned
Even the 5.2 L/100km (45mpg US) is still very good.

Thanks, Euromodder!

But Jtbo might have said the reason for the extreme 4,6L figure. The main part of the reduction must have come from the foaming rate of the diesel fuel.
Honestly it came up my mind earlier, but I thought when I start the certain cca 270km long trip I filled the tank. It was almoust empty. I had clicked with the fuel pistol about 4-5 times before I stopped filling it. When I completed the trip I filled it again, but there was much smaller room for foaming (I could put less then 15 litre diesel into it.
In a nutshell: The measuring wasn't accurate.

Other thing: I tried to change (or boost?) the brick shape of my car. Just look at my pictures in my previous comment.

Best mpg!
