Too bad you're on the other side of the world. I'd love to ride along to see exactly where & how you drive.
Why would I start a fuel log, when I know the KM's I am getting out of each fill up lol.
Because if there is something wrong with your car, a dealership service manager is going to pay more attention if you present a well documented case. Particularly if you can contrast your results against those of 65+ other Mirage owners.
(And as 3dplane says, it also serves as incentive to improve.)
Another suggestion:
Bring a second driver along to your dealership and ask permission to take another Mirage out for a test drive (same specification as yours, obviously). Reset both fuel consumption gauges, drive both cars together (at identical speeds & rates of acceleration & deceleration) along the same route. Compare the numbers when you get back to the dealership.
