I'm getting at least 35, but that includes some motorway driving (the M25 carpark though).
Unless you are driving it hard it doesn't sound right for a 525d.

My 530d drinks around 8 liters of diesel in 100 kms.
If i use BP ULTIMATE diesel it can decrease to 7,7 l / 100 km.
If i really speed it can reaches the 9,5 l / 100 km.
