I'm using esso 5000, constantly getting around 16km/l, plus minus 1.
I think fuel type only play a smaller part on fuel consumption, the main factors should be your driving habit and pattern.

A year ago, I was getting 12km/l, which was pretty average. Now with more skills and techniques, I'm getting 18km/l on average. While it doesn't sound like a very big improvement, let me show some numbers.
Lets say I go to pump after traveling 400km.
With 12km/l, I need to pump 33.3l of petrol.(400 divide by 12)
With 18km/l, I need to pump 22.2l of petrol.(400 divide by 18)
The difference is 11litres of petrol, which at let's say $1.50 per liter, is $16.50
That's how much I'm saving everytime I go to the petrol station, much more than any credit card discount or voucher can give me. Assuming I pump twice a month, that's $400 I'm saving a year!
I'm just sharing this to get people to drive smartly and efficiently, if not for Mother Earth, do it for your own wallets! ;D

What is your driving pattern?
At least 90% highway driving?
What brand and octane petrol do you pump?
SoL:
80H/20C
Petrol brand and octane rating makes no difference to me, or rather, the difference is hard to tell since I don't have FC meter, too many variables. Haven't been noticing much change in FC when I switch petrol though, so I stick to my belief that petrol doesn't affect FC(too much, if any).

that was quite good. care to share your driving habits? I dun speed and rev my engine but i only managed about 230km at halfway mark with esso 5000. However I could manage 315km with shell 95. I could not understand why? Fuel brands do make a difference?
