I just took it for a spin, it sits a tad under 3000rpm in 5th gear at 110kph (which according to the GPS is actually 106kph).

Redbook quote much lower figures for a stock XT Foz.. I'd understand if I was nailing it all the time, but I'm pretty tame when I'm out on the open road.. especially if I'm going to be on it for days at a time..

My 1997 VS Commodore Wagon averaged 7.5L per 100km when we drove across Australia.. nearly half the fuel consumption out of a 3.8L very tired V6..
