Wayne,
My 2017 model is also only on its second tank of fuel. By the dash gauge it's getting 11.9 kilometres to the litre (8.4 Litres per 100km) - about 40% city and 60% highway driving.
That seems pretty good and compares slightly more favourably to my similar spec 2010 D-Max.
One thing I have noticed is that when the fuel light came on in my 2010 model, I still had between 20 and 25 litres in the tank (pretty stupid really).
Lucky I didn't assume the same for my new model - filled up soon after the light came on and found that I only had 6 litres left!(both vehicles have a 76 litre tank).
Any issues with the new car? Only one I have is that the steering wheel is not centred when driving on a straight road - the 'T' is slightly tilted clockwise by about 10mm. Hopefully Isuzu will fix it at the 3,000 check.

Sorry not about fuel economy, but the steering wheel off centre is a direct result of the last person who altered your wheel alignment and got the adjusted lengths of the tie rods up the creek.
For some reason people doing wheel alignment seem to have trouble getting it right, even harder for them when the rack is in front, because their brains cannot work in a mirrored sense.

My Spacey has just done 3k and the economy has steadily improved (down to 9.4l/100). It gets a bit better after I take it for a highway run for a minimum half hour and driving like I stole it, but keeping revs below 3000.

Yep - probably.
The last person to adjust the lengths of the tie rods would have been in Thailand!
The vehicle was like that straight from the showroom (has now only done 1,200km). Hopefully they will fix it at the first service.
