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.

Where exactly have you seen these prices? Maybe for 2006 with a ton of miles.

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)
