I have to note also, that:

1. I've seen 7-10 l/100km stated as the normal FE for a 1.2 8v 'cento (on forums and allegro.pl)
2. My exhaust is custom (since the 900ccm one was too restricting) and it may be quite far from optimal.
2600 is pretty high, but I've seen worst. Anyway Punto with your engine has 5.3 l/100km average, by the factory, so your Scrapcento shouldn't be worst. Have you tried to P&G?
