Yes we had both cars on demo recently.
V8 car did 19/20 MPG
V6 car did 20/21 MPG
End result was we bought a run out 3.0D X5 Sport which is currently doing around 27 MPG with 800 miles on the clock
Exactly..x5 makes the Cayenne look a joke in every respect.V8 car did 19/20 MPG

Were you bullied at school by a teacher with a Porsche, KayC??

I reckon he went to private school - and was rodgered by the 'Bigger boys' everyday of his childhood....
that'd explain an awful lot...

The only comparison though is with the 4.8 which supposedly give 20 MPG as well.
If I had to buy one a few year old S seems good value. There is one one Autotrader 2003, 27k for £26k which would get you a similar age/mileage X5 3.0d
Just depends if you want a car (well barge) that runs on tractor fuel.

Yes, I did - but it was a lowly comprehsive, in the town centre, of a crappy northern town, where we were so poor we didnt have notebooks, we had to write on our own arms, but couldnt afford pens, so used our nails to scrape the lesson into our skin.
I struggled through, and somehow my 'common education' got me to college, and then University, but still in the North, not a posh one where the boys bum each other you understand, but they still gave out 'real' degree's and everything, and in proper subjects like Engineering, rather than Relgious Bumming.
So while you've never actually had to work a day in your life, because mummy and daddy had money, you can look down on me because your education was a lesson in how to bite a pillow as your taken roughly from behind by someone with a lisp, I worked damn hard to get where I am, and I don't constantly wave it about as some badge, I am quietly proud of my own, personal achievements, all of which I made without a single person violating my anus.
Perhaps thats why I'm not a cock like you are Kay? or perhaps that only happens when you buy a 996TT, which is a shame, as I like them, and might even buy one if I ever can ever achieve that - but of course, by then your hedge fund daddy bought you would probably allow you to buy a Carrera GT or SLR, and you can tell everyone how much better you are because of how significantly richer you are than everyone else...
For everyone except KayC - tongue firmer in cheek - and my own, not someone elses like KayC had to do to get on with life

Utterly hilarious!
An inspired piece of writing! 
No offence to anyone. Just praise where it is due!
Ummmm.....anyway - Hardly relevant, I suppose, but a buddy headed off to the 'Ring last year in a Cayenne Turbo, pulling his 964 RS on a trailer. He managed just under 5mpg. Under normal circumstances, if you're really gentle in an S, you'll sneak above 20 mpg, though once you hit town, the car will struggle to return 12. In the Cayenne Turbo, just switch off the OBC and whistle a happy tune. If you watch what the car is consuming, you'd better have the Samaritan's number handy. Trying to keep one of those filled is like trying to put out a Californian forest fire with a syringe and a wet facecloth. 15-17 mpg on a good day, and 10 or less the rest of the time; which'd be fine if the rest of the time wasn't most of the time. Because it's a relatively tiny engine pulling a 2 and a half ton behemoth, the smaller V6 is in practical usage, no more economical than the normally aspirated V8.
