4.8 Gas mileage
Can you, please post your litres per 100km, please
Full tank lasts me for 500km normal driving.
The tank in E70, I believe, is 83L versus 93L in E53, which makes it eating ~17L per 100km for a normal driving.
Dos it sound right to you?
I have no sports package.

The best I could get out of the 4.8i was 17mpg so far in a combination of city/freeway

The reason I am asking is that I am comparing it to my beloved 2004 4.4 and it was eating approximately 16L per 100km, so I was doing ~550km on a tank, though the tank was 93L
