You can easily exceed 10L/100 of premium consistently in a hot hatch IMO.
My ST sits on 6.9 L per hundred average during the week commuting.

After two very spirited drives last long weekend, my average consumption went up...to 7.0 L

Got back to 6.9 L by the time I got to work on Monday, and didn't notice much of a difference dollar wise next time I fueled up.

The go kart handling means you don't have to burn fuel getting up to speed after slowing down, and every flat stick gear change is offset by the fuel sipping nature of the car the rest of the time.
