I own a vz Berlina and on a recent trip to QLD and return i averaged 7.8 ltres per 100km I left Kurwongbah the other side of Brisbane and traveled to St Marys all up 1002 km and used 78 litres, which i think is pretty good for a V/6

Bottom line...

It's not what you drive, but how you drive it that determines fuel efficiency.

Top Gear recently got better fuel efficiency out of a BMW M3 than they did from a Toyota Prius.

Custom exhaust, OTRCAI, cutom tune.

Dont drive flat out or stop everywhere you go.

Dont carry un-necessary weight in your car.

It's also manual so I can short shift a bit too - which is fine with the amount of torque the car has.

Here's a photo some may be surprised at. This is AROUND CANBERRA driving ONLY. No highway driving included in this figure...

Just for the record, I get 11.4 avg in an untuned LS1, average of about 470k's out of a 70lt tank and im in NO way an economical driver. I get 8.4 on the highway thou.

An average of 11.4/100km would see you getting over 600 kilometres to a tank.
If you're only getting 470 kilometres to a tank then your average is almost 15L/100km. :)

I usually average between 12 - 14L/100KM but i don't really drive with economy in mind. I don't give it WOT either but I do take advantage of the fact I have an 8. No point buying an 8 then driving like a granny!
