He's right the M5 is worse than Range Rover, CayenneTT, Lexus LX and so on.
I had one for a week and it got 14mpg highway, and 8 in town.

It's unfortunately true. I think the only car on the road at the time that got worse MPG's was an H1 Hummer

I only drive the M6 once every 2 months and everytime I do, the first stop is to refuel

Fuel consumption is horrendous, by far the worst out of any car that's currently int he garage.

Mine gets 14/17 mpg. It's pretty standard. I can't imagine what you would have to do to get 8 mpg other than idling in traffic for days or towing a boat.

Sticker on a black 2006 at Cars & Coffee the other day was $28.5k, including chip and x-pipe. I was more tempted than previously.

17 mpg in an M5? You got skillz Randy

I think 20s is pushing it a bit for these prices on these cars. I think a "nice" one can be had in the mid/upper 30s these days though.....

Are you one of those hypermillers Jk That's really good that you are able to get 14 / 17 mpg most people I've talked to or most reviews I've seen on forums is that the MPG is horrible (which is to be expected from a V10 lol)
