Fuel efficiency
In a word - terrible. A 260 kW 5.4 litre V8 pushing nearly 18 tonnes can never be anything but. On the highway, you'll do very well to return 11 litres/100 km, with the average between here and 13 litres/100 km. In town, this increases to 18-22 litres/100 km.
wow! the BA really has gained weight!

Thie highway lt/100km, i can relate to, but it's a 5.4 V8. It will always use more juice than a 4 or 6.
In the city, getting 18-22 lt/100km requires some pretty heavy left foot. It is easy to get those readouts, but on average i'de say around 17-20.
But with an XR8 and that exhaust note, how can you help it?
