740d insane efficiency

[Flamingi]

Just came across this video on YT, unfortunately in German, but I'll summarize it for you. asphalt.art did a test drive doing the same route three times. First time doing 130km/h, second time going 80km/h on the right lane and lastly full a full speed run. The route starts and ends at the same gas station and is ~300km long. The tank was filled exactly to the first click after each run and the calculated consumption is the real world consumption, i.e. filled up liters divided by travelled distance and not the one from the bord computer.

The results:

• 130km/h
  • average consumption 5,63l/100km (41.78mpg US)
  • average speed 119km/h
  • time 2:34h
• 80km/h
  • average consumption 3,83l/100km (61.41mpg US)
  • average speed 82km/h
  • time 3:43h
• unlimited
  • average consumption 13,27l/100km (17.73mpg US)
  • average speed 159km/h
  • time 1:56h

Even though the 7 is kinda shaped like a massive brick, it must be a really aerodynamic brick
You could go over 1200 miles with only a single tank, very impressive.
