500 New discs and pads - at 13,000 miles ?!

I wonder if TA85 brakes are only just up to the job and therefore not lasting all that long. If the brakes were sticking/ binding, I wouldn't be seeing 60mpg on a tank. I'd normally expect many more miles from a set of pads, but it could also be that these cars just don't have the pad life typical of other cars.
meanwhile my pads are so noisy that i am almost ashamed to brake! = ) and i had just gotten then changed as well.
 
I couldn't resist putting this one up for all to see:
