Someone on a BMW forum spotted this and worked out, using average mpg figures, it will have had £55k spent on it in fuel alone

A rough breakdown - if it only gets used monday - friday, is over £50 per day in petrol

For the milage, its not that bad IMO, would have expected more

That's a lot of mileage.

...worth every penny!...it's an M5! lol

What he said ^^^^^

From what I read on the net they average around 15mpg
3.8 litres = 1 gallon = roughly £3.80

146000/15 = 9733.3 gallons of fuel
9733.3 x 3.80 = £36986.70

£36986.7/3years/52weeks= £237 per week fuel cost

That would make me feel sick lol

Is 15mpg average of doing 90mph down the M6 third lane, flashing full beams to anything that dares appear in front?

...can you drive a BMW any other way

when i borrowed an m5 i only had it for 2 weeks but managed to spend £400 on fuel.

er...a gallon is not 3.8litres it's 4.54litres

He will most likely have Googled it. The more popular gallon (aka US gallon) is 3.79 or summit along them lines. A UK gallon is 4.54.

Thats why as cheap as their fuel is, because its sold by the gallon, its not actually quite as cheap as it first seems - still damn cheap though lol.

It causes no end of problems when discussing cars and oil/fuel prices etc on a US forum I use.

okay smart arse well 43.7k per year then. lol

sorry mate,wasn't be arsey,just thought everyone was as sad as me, and knew that..lol
