Hi guys,

I was kinda resisting replying to thread till now but perhaps you'd also be interested in a slightly different experience?

Keeping at a stead 80mph, and driving regularly from Milan (Italy) to London (UK) (about 750miles) usually takes about a tank each way.

Of course it's a Euro 3.0D 218bhp, but when you're paying $7 (Austria)-$10 (Italy) per gallon - it's insane not to run a diesel

Having had an E39 M5 before, I can tell you it's nowhere near as much fun, but....

I'll dig out a photo later with 999km range and already 250km since the last fill (tho probably someone has already posted something similar in the past).

Glad to see that you guys (with your ultra-cheap fuel) are also keeping an eye on the consumption too

For my curiosity (please excuse my ignorance), it seems that diesel is available in the US (a bit more expensive than petrol), but doesn't seem to be a popular choice? - can you get the diesel X5 models there?

Cheers, Kev
