still, it goes to show how good unstressed diesels are for economy, I'd love to see a petrol car to that kind of speed with that quantity of luggage and return that kind of mileage!
Figures are pretty damn good-top work!

as for your statment above, the 535i managed 35.36 mpg on a 145mile round trip to the unit with an engine crane! and all my tools in it.. P&G with E(on) Glide FTW!

And I can almost guarentee that it'd be happier porsche baiting
