Old topic. If you look through the archives it's well documented. One of the most frugal V8's going around with a manual box that is.

XR8 220 kw
City Cycle: Manual 14.96 L per 100k Auto 15.26 Highway: Manual 8.92 L per 100k Auto 9.05 (All Premium unleaded) Straight from the Series III Specifications Brochure. As for accuracy, my series II XR8 ute (manual) had a fuel consumption sticker on the screen which stated 13.5 L per 100k combined and that's exactly what I got out of it with normal daily driving.

The series 2 & 3 both require premium unleaded (pulp) of at least 94 ron (caltex vortex).

Caltex has the lowest spec premium (94), but it is still fine for the AU2/3 XRs. You ***can*** run on standard ULP, just throttle gently and don't rev too hard, this will help to avoid pinging.
