E300 diesel T, 25,000miles, 31mpg
190, 15,000miles, 30mpg
SL500, 10,000miles, 23mpg
I am not a rich man but much more irritating than the cost of fuel is having to stop to put it in every two days: I'd take a big tank over low consumption any day!
Functionally the same thing though, isn't it? The best thing about my last oil-burner, an E91 BMW 320D Touring, was that it reliably did 700 miles between fills. I hate having to stop for fuel. Since then I note that car makers have started trimming down the size of fuel tanks to bring range of even frugal cars back down to where it used to be 20 years ago, which I find very sad. I like long range, not because I want to drive 600 miles without a break but so that I don't have to fill up the car I'm using more than once a week. 190, 15,000miles, 30mpg
SL500, 10,000miles, 23mpg

My work-related mega-mileage has migrated to rail for the last couple of years so currently my car mileage roster is much reduced:
E39 530i Touring manual, 10,000 miles, 32 mpg
Porsche 944 Turbo, 3000 miles, 29 mpg
Mercedes R129 500SL, 4000 miles, 22 mpg
The family 2012 Prius does about 10,000 miles between us, 60 MPG.

I'm trying to make myself feel better about running around in a diesel by telling myself everybody driving fun cars are doing tiny mileages.
So I'll start with 25k miles at 49mpg average.
I did 27k last year in my 5 litre V8. Averaged 26 or 27mpg. Cost 5k+ in go-go juice. So I'll start with 25k miles at 49mpg average.
fk it. You only live once, right?
