My BA I6 has NEVER gotten 11 - 12L/100km apart from when i've done extensive country driving. In the city - expect a BA I6 to get closer to 15 - 19L/100km depending on traffic and the driver.

My partner's first car was a Mitsubishi Wagon 4 cylinder auto. It easily got 11-12L/100km on city driving. I'd expect the current 4 cylinder Camry's to get about 13L/100km in the city.
