Can M5 owners please tell me what gas mileage and range per fill up that you are getting?

about 10/mpg, 180 range per tank so far under "run in" conditions, surely the numbers will improve a little with more highway driving. But this is a thirsty car with a relatively small tank, as expected.

Averaged 14.5 mpg on the 635 miles trip back from oregon.

Since then has put about 165 miles on it. Average around town is 5 to 6 mpg.

I am getting way less than 180 miles per tank right now.

I can say for sure that with full tank and highway cruise, the range is about 200 to 220 max. (then again, i may have lead foot).

I?m getting 220 - 250 miles range for highway driving.

Consumption - seeing close to BMW figures for mixed driving ( average over 30.000 km ).

I started with mostly hwy driving. 1,200 miles so far, and hwy ranges from 13.7 (some city) to 17.7 on my drive to Columbus (averaged about 80 mph). Around town (some hwy) I'm 11.7, and 12.0 on my last two fillups. These are actual miles divided by actual gallons, not computer indicated.
