Holden Captiva 2016: Excessive fuel consumption

My 2016 Holden Captiva 7 LTZ 3.0-litre petrol has a fuel economy issue. My average is 19.1 L/100 km. I went to the dealership and they ran a fuel economy test, which came back as normal. What should I do?

Go back to the dealer and ask to see the results of the test, so you know what they are, and whether or not they reflect the results you get. The average you are measuring is crazily high if it's correct. It's not at all normal, which suggests there is a problem, possibly with the engine management system, which needs further investigation.
