@@asking_for_a_friend Interesting, I driver an 8 cylinder BMW 6 series, the quoted average on a full tank distance on the AutoBahn is around 480-600 something kms I think. I usually drive to Passau from where I live which is around 640 odd kms from where I put it on cruise control live it usually 120-130kms per hour with some short 220-230 kph sprints in the "keine Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen" zones and when I reach Passau I usually have petrol for another 30-40 kms left. I used to have a 6 cylinder before that interestingly consumed more on highways and long stretches.
@@sayedshaz I wouldn't be surprised. There are many factors that affect consumption. I know guys who have the same exact engine as me and their consumption is 5l/100 in very similar environment. Here I wanted to check the difference between what the car SAYS it consumes vs what it ACTUALLY consumes. This helps see if there is any bias regardless of the actual, absolute figures
Were you only driving on the highways? And at what speeds?
95% of the drive was highway, cruise control either 85 and 105 (almost 50/50 between the two speeds). Average speed for the whole run was 80.8 km/h.
