it depends on what kind of driving you do + how much you boot it and if you got the ac on or not , turn the ac off and don't rev it over 2k rpm / don't spool the turbo and itll be good as on fuel but yea load it up with 4 mates ac on and boosting it round town ive seen 20 L per 100klm but yea anywere from 11.5 to about 13 round town and @ 100ks in 6th she sits on about 8.5L per 100 if were nice to her

^^^^ I Agree with this bloke. My wife drives my standard G6T to the shop and back with a baby in the car( So I assume she is driving responsibly, although she did get caught doing snakeys a while back...) and it gets 12.9-13.3l per hundred. Once on the free way it'll come back to 7.8-8.5litres on instant consumption.

I have a manual ute and getting 10.8 to 11.5 day in day out.. And I boot mine too.. On a trip not long ago was getting 8.0 on the way there...

Don't forget the more weight you have on Ye tub the more juice you use as the motor has to work harder to move the weight.

My 08 xr6 T ute (85,000k)has a rapids 3.5 intake kit and an x force 3.5 inch cat back, have not got it tuned yet which is probably the problem, because it sits on an average of 21.5 per 100km, but it does have around 1.3 t in the back and is all city driving.

Anything petrol powered that weighs 1600+kg to start with and loaded up with 1300kg of stuff plus city driving is going to eat fuel. 12 - 13 per 100 in town is okay in these cars and is pretty good given the weight and power etc.
