Instantaneous consumption high at idle

Question type: General

The Nissan Altima 2014 of mine.
Display a high consumption leve (30
L/100km) when the car is idle (not moving
at all).
Is this normal?
Although the Average consumption is 10
L/100km

Think about it. If you are burning gas idling and going nowhere, that calculates out to very poor mileage in L/100km. (We call it MPG here in the USA.)
