Meron bang difference manual calculation at yung nasa trip computer? The trip computer should indicate close to 5.7liter/100km

A slight difference. But it should be close probably +/-5%.

that is almost 15% difference? (12.65-10.8)/12.65 x 100%

Trip meter & manual calculation are true only for a continous trip, once you turned off the engine especially for a long period of time, the trip meter will reset by itself.

Pag putol-putol ang byahe, yung pinakahuli lang ang mareregister, at hindi average nung all trips.

Onboard fuel economy computers are off by at least 5%... up to 20% for some cars.

In city traffic, try to apply fuel saving techniques to minimize consumption. The CX-5's direct injection engine is very smooth off idle, and you can accelerate from very low rpms. Accelerate from low rpm at high throttle openings in pulses, then let off and cruise to the next traffic light/traffic stop/intersection or choke point.

I believe that at a steady 60-70 km/h, the CX-5 should be capable of well over 20 km/l over long trips. I've seen around 18+.

One writer in the US did a 300 mile trip at a steady 60 mph. That's around 400 kms at 96 km/h. Got 27 km/l by the trip computer, calculated it out to 23 km/l when corrected via full tank measure and GPS odometer correction.
