My 2l light pressure turbo Saab 9-3 does that on an urban cycle, you should get better, though I remember my old 205 1.4 was at about 30mpg toward the end of my ownership of it.
This so much depends on the driving - heavy accellerating and braking will cause the fuel to be slurped into the engine.
At a steady 65 you should see about 40 mpg though. This will drop past 70 and fall off considerably more if you can get past 80.
