Hmm... So fuel pump is done?
Filters are done?
Spark plugs and gap?
Leads?
Coils?
No vacuum leaks?
No air intake leaks?
Done a compression test?
Hows the thermostat?
Hows the radiator?
How are the sensors?

Live in a hilly area? Drive it like you stole it? Incorrect tire pressure??

I get roughly 15 litres per 100ks. Pretty crap but ive got 3 billion speedbumps and an uphill descent for 1 kilometer as soon as I exit my street every morning. That uphill section and many speedbumps chews through the juice.

It's 20k's to work. So im doing 40K's per day. Most of it slow 30kph to 50kph crawling through bumper to bumper traffic through the suburbs into the city. I think my average speed would be about 10kph!

This is what has been done to the motor recently:

Cleaned the MAF
Cleaned the opening of the Throttle Body with Nulon Foaming Air Intake Cleaner - Foaming Air Intake Cleaner- Nulon Australia
New air filter
New oil - Penrite mineral 20W50 as per the vehicle handbook
New oil filter
New radiator
New radiator hoses
New water pump
New fuel filter
Welsh plugs replaced
Valve stem seals replaced
Rear main seal replaced
Starter motor replaced
Transmission serviced.
Diff oil replaced.
New spark plugs
New leads
Tire pressure fine.
Error check returned no results other than Code 12 (Fine, normal etc)

Im thinking it could be the O2 sensors???

Don't wanna spend anymore money on this car!
