it kind of goes like this

£30 in, 120 miles later, bong!

it's had £120 of juice through it so far this week as i've been to Burnley & back and also Norfolk & back and the fuel light just came on again earlier today.

If putting super unleaded in, she'll drink £80 until she spits it back at ya

You all understand i realise :D but i had the supercharger conversion for extra performance but to get this sort of economy is brilliant, i never expected an improvement more of a big hit in pocket, but to end up with 400 bhp, 450ibs torque, 0 to 60 in 5.2 secs &35 to the gallon :woohoo:

It's £5K to supercharge mine and get those figures, so would take a while to claw the improved mpg cost back, but would be fun doing it

I know a Jap luxo barge coupe is never going to get a welcoming committee on a BMW forum but the Soarer is a very underrated car, way ahead of the competition

I can do my 110 miles a day in the 850CSi for £20 - driving like a lunatic!!!! 325 is not that much cheaper really!
Computer generally shows an average of 13mpg, but if you drive it like a tart anythings possible - i once got 23mpg on a drive to work (A roads and M25) and i'm sure others could do better, but that's not what that V12 is there for!!!!!!!!
Love that car - always arrive at work with a grin on your face!!!
