Default 2014 fuel economy after wk2 disesel service

Has any one noticed their fuel economy go up after having the vehicle serviced at the dealer? I had the software upgrade done for the park brake and 30k service and now getting 17l/100 around town. Not racing the engine, not towing.. Im sure it was around 10 - 12 around town and about 7.5 - 8 on the high way. I haven't had it back on the high way yet so don't know what it will do there.
Any clues?

Had mine done, still getting around the same km, 9.8 l100 around town.
If anything I would say an improvement on gear changes since update.

Will have to wait for summer though to see if the fan is an issue!!
So far no issues with the update

Thanks timsarg, the EVIC displayed 17 so by that yes. It was like it for a couple of weeks. I did short trips in it, after going for a drive for a couple of hours - no high way it settled down to 12. i have never seen 17 before thats why I though something was wrong

disconnect the battery and let it sit for a few hours . Might just need a reboot
