Re: BA V8 owners, what are your fuel bills like?
I get 15l/100km average for Canberra driving (which is a mix of city/highway). So 18 or so in a 220 or 260 kw V8 would be fine with me!

Mine is about 18 at the moment, but it was 11 on the last country trip. Doing another this weekend so will see if it's improved at all.

Re: BA V8 owners, what are your fuel bills like?
Mine is very good compared to some of the stats here. I get 14.6 average with about 30% freeway driving for the 220kw XT V8.
