What an epic trip to do in a hard core 911

I have about a 200 mile range with the M3 and I do about 8-10k miles a year. I know the local Shell staff pretty well!
What's the fuel economy like on yours? Sport plus on the Mustang makes it drive like a muscle car but some how manages to return a shockingly high 22mpg

My normal 9 mile commute ends up around 17-18, long journeys sometimes see 24 maybe?

Amazing how much more efficient modern V8's are compared to yesteryear where 12mpg was par for the course.

I used to get about 8 mpg out of the V12 in the Jaguar XJR-15

Safer driving a V12, you get to take frequent enforced breaks from driving on a long journey

High stress actually. The XJR-15 did not have a fuel gauge, just a low fuel light. To this day, I have not idea if it was accurate or worked properly.
