Gotta love those who track this car! Pure Fun I am sure, but isn't a 911 more fun on the track?

Not when you don't own one it isn't.

Another Range Data Point - No conjecture / speculation / nor guessing!

Quasi scientific data set regarding F90 range / enconomy for those interested (yes i'm bored tonight):

21.5 MPG (US) / 25.8 MPG (Imperial) / 10.94 L/100km

Above calculated with following:
668 km ( 415miles) between fill-ups
73.046 Litres Sunoco 94 Octane
(range on dash stated 20 km / 12 miles at time of fuelling)
Fill method before and after test:
Pump fuel slow (notch) till stops, wait 30 sec, fill slow till stops again

Test Mule:
2019 M5 Base
odometer now at just over 5000 km
20" stock wheel / pirelli @ 40-41 PSI
No aero modifications
No sunroof / No cargo / Standard Brakes (non CCB)
Driver plus 1-2 passengers throughout

Conditions:
Aug 19 - Aug 23 Southwestern Ontario Canada (Windsor to London)
- very flat here, enviromentals were no rain / minimal wind
Temp Range: 20*C - 29*C with relative humidity 61 - 98%
Elevation: 190m - 268m

Mixed Highway / Suburban / Urban
- approx 38km highway @ approx 99km/h (construction zone)
- approx 332km highway @ average 120 km/h
- balance driving was stop-go all the way up to high xxx km/h
- 9 Launch Control runs, plus into the 2xx (xx/x) zone 10+ times
- in sport plus 2/3rd the time.... in efficiency for 1/2 of highway time

This is a real world example - you can see I was not trying to be economical at all; I still got 415 miles out of a tank with a little to spare. For those saying they can't get 400 miles out of a tank - you must be on the throttle all the time and/or a combination of hills / traffic / elevation / etc. Personally, I'm very happen with the economy of my un-economical car

I figured the gas price is just a small fraction of the cost of owning such a car, so when I get mine sometime in october, I'll just drive it and not care the slightest about the fuel consumption.

Totally agree, consumption concerns are moot in the big picture. However, the question the OP raised was about range; specifically wondering if anyone was getting 400 miles per tank. My above info was to add to that discussion: based on my experience and others above (obviously drive style, traffic, terrain, etc factors in) it should be reasonable to expect the following with a full tank:
450-500 miles highway
325-425 miles mixed
300 or less in high city/suburban cycle

HIGHEST RANGE:
500 miles (800km+) = Chateau reported breaking 800km 3 times (open highway)
LOWEST RANGE:
105 miles = stealth70mde reported that at the track so this is our full balls out hooligan data-point! (status of tires unknown lol)
