Anyone with same experience?

My mechanic said he did a reset of the Electronic control box (ECU). I thought nothing of it until I did a fule consuption check and found out that the car did have a fuel consumption of 8,4L/100km, and this with a full load of four people and packing. Normaly it uses up 9,5L/100km. Now a year later itīs back to "normal".
Does anyone have the same experience? I have cheked the unit for errors but there is nothing. No point in resetting the unit if there is no errors??

Does it have something to do with the internal program the unit runs? Maybe the unit goes into a default mode with standard timmings etc. insead of optimized after a while, just thinking...

Anyone with any info or thoughts on this...
