Swap that out before going any further.

What I will say is I used to only get 27mpg from our 120d auto round town, a combinded of 33.6mpg over 18 months and 38mpg on a run at best.

The ED 320d was far better, 39 average.
I would say those figures were bad. Certainly the 120d, mine was 43 average with a lot of that around town and 50+ on a long run.

I wonder how much of this is driving style vs actual different tolerances in the engines. Perhaps we're all worrying about nothing but then a 20% saving in fuel costs does add up these days.
