Depends on the driving I do.. Around town I get 18-25L per 100.. and Im a heavy foot..
A full tank I saw atleast 400K's around town... I once drove 200k's and still had a little bit left with $30 of fuel.. Long distance driving I think I can get 10-14L per 100k

Having a clean air filter, Clean fuel, Correct tyre pressure.. Will help with fuel consumption.. Also changing Sensors could help.. Ive heard anyways..

It is common for the vapor hoses on the vn to vs fuel tanks to split. It happen to my vp check that fuel could be leaking out evrey time you turn the corner.

I have a vs ute and i couldn't find fuel leak anywhere, but smells of fuel inside the car when driving. Reading this i will now check those hoses i'm sure thats what it is thanks for the brain click

Try another fuel filter first off. It could also be a faulty temp sensor or oxygen sensor. You could try checking the fault codes and see if anything comes up.
