Here's something I found surprising... while looking at mileage and petrol receipts I did a quick calculation and worked out that the Skyline does about 24.8 mpg, whereas the Mercedes does 23.4 mpg.
The Mercedes uses cheaper fuel (regular unleaded) while the GTR always drinks Shell V-Power (super unleaded). The Mercedes hold more capacity, so the fuel bill works out the same and the extra capacity means that I get an extra 2 days before I have to fill up.
So for now, the Skyline is better on fuel... but I'm sure that will change when she has 600cc injectors and bigger turbos!
