Best MPG for cruising @ around 100-120mph

[Ry_B]

Hello all.

Quick question. What car will give the best (or good) MPG for cruising at around 120mph?

My friend does a lot of late night shift driving and she was wondering what would be best suited as her 330i currently is drinking like a fish. I've suggested something with a big diesel engine should hopefully get high 20's, but have no experience in economical cars.

Thanks

The A9 between Dresden and Berlin is the best stretch of road I have ever had the pleasure of driving on for cruising. 240KPH and no traffic to worry about, apart from those behind that are travelling at silly speeds usually flashing you from atleast 1K away. As for MPG, Saab 95 2.3 Turbo 18MPG or so. Pretty st really but then at 1 AM every Sat morning I didnt mind too much.

18mpg but you would get to your destination much much quicker, how much is your time worth?

Thanks for all the replies, my mate has bought a 530d (2002) and had it mapped, she says she is returning 25-30mpg on her nightly commute which IMO is not too shabby for a heavy car!
