I don't have a heavy foot but I do travel at the limit. Standard 2015 GU 3L auto diesel wagon and only tow a box trailer occasionally.
My old 1956 FJ Holden used to get around 20MPG (14.1LHK), and the 6 cylinder VC Valiant was no better but did have a bigger donk. Both petrol of course when it was around 3s 6d ($0.35) a gallon. And beer was $4.10 a carton of long necks - stubbies were only emerging then. You could buy a beer and a packet of smokes with 10 bob ($1) and get change.
Good on mate, you're a bloody legend, love it. I can remember when petrol was 35c/litre, maybe even a bit lower, worked at a servo from 14 y.o.

Haha, beer and smokes for a $buck & change.
