Common as muck

[outofstepuk]

Filling up tonight and in the empty station look what pulled up. New owner, told him about this place, even though everyone hates each other

On his way back to Hackney from Bristol, another owner that uses his V12V properly! Good man!

I have no idea why the photo is on it's side, but it's late and will have to do.

Like the number 21 bus, you wait for ages to see a V12V and then two pull up at the same time.
Don't know what it is but petrol station lights really do show the car up well (not that they need any help to look great).
Quite good acoustics as well. Two V12Vs under the roof should make quite a duet, I'd imagine...

What is the tank range on these beauties?

One pump length. The dark one previously filled up at where the light one is.

Not far from the truth!

On my commute it tends to average out around 11-12mpg... but on a decent cycle it'll be high teens. All motorway it even hits 20mpg, but where's the fun in that.

typical childish behaviour of V8V drivers

reminds me I should get round to selling mine at some point!

[hashluck]

I wanted the tank range not the mpg - i realise I could probably do the maths but I cannot be bothered

Shgell stations have LED forecourt lighting which really do enhance the look of a decent motor

I don't commute in mine and live outside the city, but I get around 17-19 depending on the run. Not really managed 20..........it seems to do that and then you want a quick squirt of the noise and ......back down to 18mpg.

I guess I manage 250-280 miles from a tank, but I never let it right down to the lowest to really find out. No idea what the tank size actually is.

[PiloteAM]

Tank is 90L (pretty much 20 gal).

My 4.3 (the 4.3 is thirstier than the 4.7) used to get 15-17, but since having the cats replaced it seems to have gone up to 20!

At 17mpg I can get about 350 miles per tank in theory, but I don't like running on fumes

Seems to be the new meeting place, pulled up behind an early black 4.3 at the BP garage (other fuel sellers are available) on the A5 about 4 miles west of the M6 - exchanged nods and admiring glances. The guy taking payment thought we were together.
