This argument is oft used and it never gets any smarter. Ever think that many of us got to be in a position to buy a luxury car because we don't **** money away?
And no, this car does not get the same mileage as it's counterparts. My turbo 535 got 3-4 MPG better, and much buddy's E350'at least 5.
My biggest complaint is the range. Small tank and crappy mileage means the light is on at under 300 miles. Close to 400 was the norm for my Bimmer.
My diesel Cayenne is about 600. And is averaging 5 MPG better than the 1,000 lb lighter GS,

I get 300-ish per tank, half of that is highway but the way people drive here, the highway ends up changing the mileage into city. The graph shows 19 all day, every day, average speed 25, and that's with me hitting 80 on the highway for short stretches.
I really need to take a road trip in it to see how it acts on long, unbroken stretches of highway with light traffic. I think it hit 24 once on a 2 hour trip, but I have some relatives 700 miles away that I visit annually, and there are lots of places to get great mileage on that journey.
Funny thing is, I go the exact same distance in this car with its advertised 19/30 as I did on my 2004 G35 which advertised 17/24. 300 miles per tank, average. Kinda wish this car had a bigger tank.
