S550/500 fuel economy

I know what standard ratings are, but does anyone know what kind of fuel economy an S500 being driven on the Autobahn at 240kph would be?

Correct! 25.8 to be exact. Approached 26.6mpg on long stretches where average speed was 75mph+

I've gone up to 100 on 90 before in the ML.

The short stretch of 53 has no cops either (from start to Schaumberg).
