YES mpg does matter, but even moreso is the tank capacity. my old E93 M3 was very annoying - filling up every other day is a pain (and i didnt "drive the tits" off it if ever).

A bit selling point for me when getting my Panamera was that the 4s vs s had a 6 gallon larger tank. So im happy to hear that the tank is larger than a normal 5 series.
