Well, I was going to suggest differences in fuel quality but I have no idea what those might be. As for your fuel consumption I can't really offer advice as I have a 100HP so a very different car and I do hardly any city driving.
Only suggestions I can make are:
>Engine may be clogged up if previous owner only ever used the cheapest fuel available - stick to branded fuels from the main suppliers;
>Do a regular long distance run if you otherwise use it for short journeys;
>Try a few tanks of super unleaded and see if it improves;
>Use all the rev range at least once a journey if engine is fully warmed up;
>Take it out specifically to thrash the nuts off it on the open road - aka the 'Italian tune up' - does wonders for the Type R that after a week with my wife driving it.
>Keep it clean - all my cars seem to run better when they are shiny .
Good luck
