YOUR FUEL ECONOMY please elaborate

hi everybody, i have just bougth nice black civic.
I am still driving it on my first full gas tank and I am going to let you know of my fuel economy.
I also want to comare it to my 2.0l '03 golf which is pretty much always around 10l per 100km or 24mpg. In city driving i get that, but on hiway i push it hard 150-160km/hr so my economy does not get any better.

i am hoping that i will hit 500km mark to some 42 -43 liters
(311 miles to 11gal)
