    Yep,,blame the wire eating weasels or martens. After they eat your wires, they head to the gas tank for a long drink.

    Now, if only we can teach them how to light their farts.

    Yea, something's up, J. I've been getting 9.1-9.2L/100km at 120km/h with my 540. Time for plugs, filter, O2 change?

    Try driving at 140mph for a sustained period. You can actually watch the fuel gauge move down the scale as it sucks the juice.

    As for 120kmh, thats about 70mph? I don't usually drive that slow, but at a guess about 1/4 to 1/3 of a tank for 2 hours continuous. At 85-90mph for 4 hours I get about 260 miles to 7/8 of a full tank. That's the thick end of £60 for 4 hours entertainment......

    <EDIT> Just returned from a 120 mile round trip, averaged 90mph all the way - used less than 1/4 tank.
