I'm getting around 9.4L/100km with an average speed of 55.3km/h in my 05 S Ute (Manual 6 speed).

It's alright considering i just run standard unleaded fuel, haven't replaced anything since i bought it about a year ago.

That's really good.

VE SSV SportWagon, VZ Crewman Cross 8
On the back form Cooma to Melbourne bringing the VZ Cross 8 home, I averaged 11.2 with the cruise control on to Bairnsdale, then from Bairnsdale to home up to 11.9 as the speed limit changes to 110. Pretty good I thought. So far around town with no highway driving average is 14.6 with the odd squirt. I am using BP PULP with no mod's, yet !!!!!!!!

VL Calais Manual, VZ SV6 Manual
05 vz sv6 6 speed manual... mine sits on 19-20l/100km and avg speed is about 47 kms... i drive it hard but... not that hard.... ive just changed both front o2 sensors aswell.. as scan tool showed a faulty one... the code for the o2 is gorn now but my fuel consumption is still heaps bad... should i be looking into plugs + coil packs... also if u try to flog the car when its cold it hesitates alot and sometimes lets out a backfire then consumption goes up a bit more!!!

You shouldn't flog it when it's cold but besides that I'd say if it hesitates and fuel economy is bad that you should look at coils and/or leads. How does it idle? Hot and cold?

Just thought id update on my last tank.
9.9L per 100km at an avg speed of 51.6km/h
58.02L used to 583.43km total distance traveled.
Edited, also 11 hours and 20 minutes of driving.

Drove the car any where from highway to peak hour traffic, to the odd 5,000 rpm + to in and around town driving. I really dunno why some people figures are so bad for.
