Mate, i've been to Canberra many times, the difference between your level of traffic or city driving is massively different to driving in Melbourne. That cannot even compare.

Nope - you never get the chance in what my previous job was. i'd drive from home, 4km out of the city, to my place of employment the other side of the CBD on St Kilda Road. From there I would get dispatched to various other CBD bound locations. So this was pure bumper to bumper driving, day in day out, rarely getting above 30km/h. My distance per tank was never much more than 340km, economy was 17-18L/100km and average speed was about 27km/h.

However on the freeway - man between 7 and 9L/100km excellent economy.
