I've been impressed with some of these new V8s. My wife's 06 Vanden Plas, 4.2L V8 naturally aspirated, gets 28 mpg at 80. That was our average from NJ to SC last year. But with a draggy long wheelbase 4 door body, backing off works better. We did 31 mpg back and forth to the BIH CSR meet last month by holding back to just 70. Still not bad for over 4 ton luxury car. Beats the heck out of driving a Honda.
Best regards,

That's an awfully heavy car you have.
