Nothing :'(
I've got my dads vy ss down to 9.8lt/100ks, that was on a looooong drive using cruise most of the way.
On the other end of the scale i've got it up to about 26lt/100k. But usully sits at about 16lt/100k
If its just a 1-3 hour drive on an open road probably get it down to 11 or so

Hope that made SOME sense lol

I had mine down to 8.1l/100k after changing the tune in the engine. This was on a very hot day running in some hills around here. The previous best was 9.2l so there was definately an improvement from the tune.

2016 MY16 SV6, 2 x Triumph 2500 (1970/77), manuals
VYII Manual V6

I just drove from Penrith to Brisbane and back over the weekend in my manual V6. I used the cruise control almost always.

Into a significant headwind on the way up, got 8.2L/100Km. Easily made it from Sydney to the Gold Coast on the one tank.

Kept the trip computer going for the nil wind trip coming back, and the average fuel consumption had dropped to 7.9L/100Km by the time we got home. That would mean an average of about 7.6L/100Km for the return leg. Filled up at Ballina and still had 1/4 tank back at Penrith.

Average speed both ways was a bit under 90KPH, doing the trip in less than 11 hours on the road.

I am content with those figures, considering the car only has 12,500 km now. May improve slightly as odometer increases.
