Needless to say, I won't be buying another diesel.
I don't quite get what you are saying - are you so impressed that you intend to keep the highline forever or are you saying that you expected the fuel consumption to be much lower than 5.6L/100km?
If it's a new car then the consumption will continue to improve right through until 40,000-60,000km.
