mine vary fom 12.5 - 15l/100km depending on what fuel i use and
21-27l/100km towing a 3.5t trailer from Brisbane to Sydney
and you can maintain 100km /h up most hills

we have a large quantity of these in our company ( v8 petrol 100+ series cruisers )
It really does depend on how you drive them..
we do lots of high way mileage and found that if your nice 12.5- 14 on average..on the high way.
If your keen to get from a to b double it ! 28k /100
round town 20-23/100
towing / mud / sandwork go as high as 37-39 / 100
cheers
