I get 11.5/100 sitting on 100-110 but thats with 31's. I'm happy enough with that. I would expect it to be worse with bigger tyres.

I get around 13 to 15, but i don't drive that conservatively, get more on the hwy and less when offroad obviously.

That is some nice figures. I am averaging 12l/100 around town on 31" mtr's. And that is un lifted.
