Gas Mileage

I took my first 500 mile trip with my 19 M5C. Was surprised to get 27.5 mpg. In fact ran about 50 miles over 29 mpg

pictures or it didn't happen. 27.5mpg seems quite far fetched on a 4.4L V-8. what were you doing? 60mph the whole time?

Long story short the wife was complaining about the speed I was (doesn't normally and did look frightened) so on Sunday I drove the car like a Nun the car averaged 33.2 Mpg(27.7 US gallon) with a average speed of 51 MPH over a distance of 75 miles the a top speed of 70 MPH. I was impressed but not sure I want to do it again.No I haven't got a picture sorry.

That was an average and including some city driving,motorway and A roads but I agree doing a steady 70 MPH on the motorway is not much fun.
