good idea with the puncture liquid .... i've got 2 tyrewelds in the back

Nevertheless Id planned to stop roughly halfway in lancashire. Pulling into the carpark I noticed Id covered 276 miles with range saying there was still 620 miles available (and its minimum of 620 as it doesnt show higher than that on that year), so looking like an 896 mile range as I say subject to traffic, conditions etc
896 miles on a 90 litre tank....

My late 2006 3.0d e53 also will only show a maximum of 620 miles range on the OBD. (999 km)

I've got 2006 with 250,000KM, been re-mapped since 80,000KM when I bought it and I get generally 26-28 MPG on the 'school/shopping' run etc, and on a motorway run at 140-150 KMH 37-39 MPG.
Best I've ever had was 43 MPG, but I do occasionally get just over 40 MPG.
