it really is pretty bad… compared to BMW V8 cars it’s decently worse. I got about 30mpg with a 540 6 spd on a longish highway trip. must be the AWD. ---

Sometimes 1 - 3 - 6 If I’m a HUGE BITCH on the highway - doing like 60-65, i can get around 24.

the other thing that you have to watch out for when you drive these barges like the stig is that you will go through suspension bushings etc like crazy with all that weight. ---

a lot of times you think nothing it wrong, but if you replaced them the car would be twice as sharp… people don’t tend to notice them until traumatic failure. or maybe you’re not beating on the car hard enough? 😃 ---
