Has anyone done a long highway cruise in the M5? If so, what was your mileage. I'm in So Cal and want to know if I can at least get to Vegas on 1 tank (approx 350 miles).
I have done a 400 mile highway drive without stopping, so you should be fine. On the highway i typically get 23-24mpg. Around town I get about 11, this is lots of quick starts mixed with some 10 minute freeway runs.
