I think with these figures, its important to take into account what kind of driving is being done. My 11L/100k is from driving daily from Coogee to Sydney city which is only about 8km in constant stop/start traffic. The car never gets a continual run for more than say 2 minutes before coming to another set of lights.

You guys who are getting 7-9L/100k might be going through highways which would allow for some efficency in the engine. Am I right in assuming this?
