Hey guys,
Just took a trip to Mudgee over the weekend, calculated my fuel efficiency while I was at it.
Travelled 467.65km. Most was on the freeway, but about 150km of it was thrashing the living crap out of it on the dirt roads. I very rarely got over 3rd gear on dirt even when doing 100km/h and was on boost (and sideways) for a pretty big percentage of the time.
The place I stayed had a driveway that went up a big hill and had 4 hairpins through it.... Gawd I love that place. 
Showed a bunch of V8 Falcon Utes what real power (and then handling) is up a bunch of hills too. 
Anyway, used up 44.37L which equates to 9.49L/100km. Not bad eh? 
All that dirt took its toll though, my left rear shock is buggered now. Driving home was fun, had 43 bottles of wine in the back, dead left rear shock, and a big arse nail through the right rear tyre.... Didn't stop me from humiliating more V8 Falcons though... heheh
