Fuel efficiency of SSV Commodore

On a recent trip to Surfers Paradise from Sydney, with two passengers and luggage, even with the road works, I was surprised that my fuel economy was 9.2L/100km. I drive a 2009 VE SSV 6.0-litre manual Commodore and I wonder if this figure is consistent with other drivers? I was glad to see that it didn't use much more than a tank.

The six-speed Commodore V8 has very tall gearing, which helps the economy on a trip. That's a good number for your car, but I've done the same run is smaller-capacity cars and returned 6.2L/100km.
