Just got back from a trip to Cootamundra, trip back on the Hume Freeway 7.51 L/100km and that's sitting on the speed limit on cruise with the aircon on the whole time. Around town about 12.5L/100km aircon usually on.

VX Berlina Wagon
VX Wagon 5.7 - average 12-13l/100km mostly motorway but some slow trips in there, and a few bursts of high revving in 2nd and 3rd over taking.

Seems to be about average.

When I go towards the Waikato it usually drops to 10l/100km but I haven't really tried to get it lower.

I have exhaust twin 2.5inch to single 3inch and as far as I know that is it.

Next year going for OTR and a tune going to see if I can get it tuned for economy on 91, or if I feel I can get 15% better economy on 95/98 get it tuned for that.
