Roughly 2 1/2 litre petrol auto in town giving 20-odd mpg.
Yes, it's normal.0 -
Are you labouring the engine? This is 100% the best way to ruin your mpg figures. A lot of people think that revving uses more fuel, but changing gear too soon is far worse.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Big engine and auto with town driving is going to give poor mpg even if driven gently.0

Hardly that much petrol, 9 litres is two gallons, 10 = 2.222222 gallons, which for 47.5 miles gives you 21.375 mpg.
Considering, big engine, petrol (not diesel), automatic, and urban driving - no not unrealistic - IMHO.
