That's because the Lupo (or any other car in last umpteen years) wasn't made to get 3 l/100km in daily driving, but only the European fuel consumption test. The engine an transmission are tuned to a few sets of known speeds and accelerations, while on the road you need the whole spectrum of driving styles.
Your ZX was probably made before car companies started fine-tuning cars to the test only. Also, the test has changed a few times, making it harder to beat.
