He adds 1 liter of gas in the empty tank and gets:

10.5km/ 1 liter

Thats 9,5l/100km=24.76mpg!!!!

How can that be, with the E55 I never get these kinds of results. Its probably the turbos, right? But still its a v12....

cruising lastnight on the highway(67mph), with about 3 miles of side roads to get to it, I got 28.5 mpg in my CL.

Gearing probably helps the CL65, it doesn't need tall gears to move since it has so much power.
