Does anyone have the V8 5-series? What is the average MPG from your experience?
I have an auto and drive pretty fast - but I get about 15mpg in city driving and 25 on highway.

Depending on how heavy our foot is, you can get between 15mpg to 20 mpg on a 70/30 hwy/city trip. I get about about 20.1 mpg. with average 35 mph trip (that includes fast highway, traffic, and some city roads).

100 miles a day. Look for a tank of gas to last about 3 1/2 days or less.
By the way, I don't think Porsche attract the chicks either, it's high end MB that does. If you're gay, all that doesn't matter.
