What's the longest drive you've had to do in your amg?

I haven't had my C32 for long, but I flew to North Carolina to buy it and then drove it straight home, about 900 miles. Drove straight through, only stopping for fuel and a couple bites to eat, and took almost exactly 13 hours. Down south where the speed limit was 70, and averaging 80 wasn't a problem, I was getting 26mpg. As I got into the lower speed limits up north my average speed dropped down to 60-65 and my mpg dropped to 24.5... still a lot better than I was expecting. Mixed daily driving I'm getting 21.5... only half mpg less than my R32 and yet this thing makes 100 more horsepower, lol. I love it.

I just got back from a 950 mile round trip Cincinnati to Milwaukee in my bone stock 2003 c32. Rolled the 150,000 mile mark about half way back with no issues and got (in my opinion) and outstanding 26 mpg. I kept it at a fairly reasonable 70-75mph minus a few spirited highway on ramp runs.

Just drove from Sacramento to Chicago for work. 2000 miles. I set cruise control at 80 and go there in about 29 hours. 26.1 mpg and no problems. Had to add one quart of oil though
