My S-Type R is about 53k kms (33k miles).
About consumption, at 131kms/h (81.40mph, measured by GPS, fastest speed before road radars trigger in Spain) @2000rpm I got 10.3l/100km = 22.83mpg. At 150kms/h (93.20mph, GPS) @2100rpm (if I don't remember wrong) I get 10.7l/100km = 21.98mpg. Both on long trips. On city, being carefull, I get 11.5l/100km = 20.45mpg.
The tank on this car is a bit small for its consumption, it really needed a 100l tank like in my GL that has more or less the same consumption figures, but diesel. I found on pistonheads this for a s-type 4.2
Indicated refill capacity-E to F on fuel gauge...64.0 litres
Unindicated (reserve) capacity....................5.5 litres
Total refill capacity (advertised capacity)......69.5 litres
Have any of you dared to get to 0 kms range indicated by the computer? Does it keep going? I suspect that the computer is under reporting...

And I've only been down to 9miles left on the range meter. Every one I've had always had a reserve of 10-20 miles but who knows on the S?
