Australia's historical data combines hatchbacks, sedans and wagons into one passenger-car category, so those rows share the same benchmark. The figures are rated test-cycle averages, not a promise of real-world fuel use; traffic, load, driving style, maintenance and vehicle variant all matter.

*The moped and motorcycle rows are broad practical ranges, repeated across decades rather than claimed as national averages. Australia's Green Vehicle Guide says it does not currently have verifiable consumption data for motorcycles and scooters. A City of Sydney strategy gives useful examples instead: 125cc and small scooters around 2.6–2.8 L/100 km, an EX250 at 3.5, and 650cc examples around 4.6–5.5 L/100 km.

For your exact car, we recommend Googling make + model + fuel per 100 km, or using RedBook's model-specific specifications and looking for its combined fuel-consumption figure.
