I got over 300 miles from the last £60 I put in, and that was with filling up before I really needed to, its more economical than you think  You're welcome to have a ride in it  |

I must have a massive touring tank in my E38. I'd be happy as a pig in £$%^ if it took £60 to fill mine.
I was on fumes the once but hit the £99 limit at the petrol station before the pump clicked off.
Was proud and scared at the same time.
Mines only a 2.8, but happily does 35+ on a run. The 750 might be even better as its just a tickover.
Good Luck with the sale.

Haha 60 quid didn't trouble the end of the fuel gauge I've gone from fuel light to pretty much full and flew through the £90 barrier  I did wonder how the 2.8 fared on fuel, quite a (relatively) small engine pulling a great bulk.. The V12 can't quite hit 35mpg but I've had 32mpg sitting at about 60mph on cruise control before  I drove back from Ipswich to Coventry on Sunday, had the cruise set at 77mph, turning about 1900rpm or so, its such an unstressed engine haha |
