My clubby around town gives me approx 15-17l/100kms while it relaxes back to a more suitable 9.5l/100kms on the open highway. My other half owns a VX1 S V6 and it does sooo much better at about 10-11l/100kms while it amazed us with 7.8l/100kms on a recent trip to QLD. 900kms from Melbourne to Gilgandra, 71 litres!!! Yes thats Melbourne to Gold Coast via Toowomba on less than 2 tanks. Needless to say she loves it better than her old Tarago!! Took the Clubby on the same trip, averaged 9.9l/100kms, which I almost expected. Best I had ever previously got out of any V6 was 58litres for Melbourne to Adelaide (730kms) in my old 97VT Exec.

10.8L/100km around the city with all the road works. 10l/100km around the burbs and haven't taken it on a long run yet to give good country milage.

Mind you the company cars (XR8 /SS) I get 10's and 11's around town.

my old ecotec VY wagon auto did 12.5l/100km avg in normal driving. down to only 10.5-11l/100km on highway at 110.
my L76 vz 6 speed manual does 14l/100 avg down to 8.4l/100km on highway. I would be curious to see more up to date results.

My VR with minimal mods gets 12/13l /100km/h on average, that's town/ highway driving.
On the highway it gets around 7-9L / 100km/h
