Totally. I go for 400 on each tank.

For being such a big car, it does get pretty good mileage. I guess that's a plus to being slightly underpowered.

Hehehe speak for yourself!! The 535i drinks gas like george bush drank alcohol in the 70's [rofl]

But it is still amazing to get 400+ miles on a full tank...I just don't try to remember it's a 21 gallon tank!

Chesty Bonds - yea IMO it's the best looking classic bmw ever.

Funny thing is, my brother just hit 210k, too, and on the same day. His is a '92 325iS. He put 500 miles on his last tank of gas. Of course, those were all roadtrip miles.

Did you stop in the middle of the highway/freeway to take the pic? I want to take a pic of sth like that, but always in the middle of nowhere w/o a camera. Great Job!

Yeah the fuel consumption of the Landie is actually disgraceful. To get about 400km from an 90L tank is just ridiculous. But I love the beefy V8 sound it makes... It's just a pity you can hear the fuel getting sucked into the engine! [hihi]

My camera just happened to be in the car at the time, so I took it while I was driving. It was a very wide 4 lane road with no one else around. I wouldn't have done it in traffic. You can see in the pic I was going 45 mph at the time.
