BOZZ, I'm not going to tell you what you should drive, that's your decision. There's no need to get defensive mate, I wasn't bagging anyone, just expressing my lack of enthusiasm for watching my fuel guage. I drive my Falcon because I enjoy it, if I feel like giving her a thrash, I'll do it. If I feel like cruising, I'll slip it into top gear and cruise. If it costs me an extra $5-$10 at fill-up time, I don't care because I drive for the pleaseure, safety, comfort and performance, not to monitor how much fuel I use. Anyway, who says you can't hook a tow bar up to a GTR?

Anything around the 9L/100 kms on the highway is expected of a car this size (petrol only). Anything lower than 9L is exceptional.
Around town is different - It will vary on tyre size, engine size, exhaust modifications, general driving habits and load. Average around town for me is 13.4L/100 kms. The range will go down in slow city traffic, but climb slowly when cruise control is used on quiet stretches of road. I have no modifications. Petrol type doesn't matter to me - I just use unleaded, and lucky I filled up yesterday - as petrol went up 20 cpl this afternoon - was $1.069 this morning, then hit $1.269 this afternoon.
