Ended up filling up after something like 290 miles but the tank only took 70 litres so seems quite a bit more could have been done. On a Europe trip the other day managed 370 before filling and there was probably another 60 miles to go. Can be done but not often!

Did u use cruise control? I did a 230 mile trip in an LS460 - and only a third of the (90 litre) tank was used. Average speed was about 80 mph, but had the radar cruise control set to 88 the whole way.

Trying to think back but pretty sure I didn't use cruise then and probably spent quite a bit of time above that speed which doesn't help.

Subsequent trips I have used the radar cruise which is fantastic although again its usually been set around 95-100.

Does the radar work at 95-100? Mine only worked till 88.

Too barging! Would not say no! Recently experienced drivin_me_nuts's LS460 SE-L recently from a rear seat and up front. Absolutely sublime piece of automotive engineering. Utterly beautiful in Every which way. The style, the toys, the engine, the ride, the audio equipment, the ride, the comfort,the space, the pace, the surprisingly reasonable running costs with Lexus customer service etc... I'm an Audi man through and through but think LS seems very likely to pull me away from an A8. Congrats.

Don't break the fold down mini table in the rear.

It can only be ordered as a complete assembly.
