i think surely you mean litres?  :o :(

I did 2700 miles around europe in 2006 when fuel was cheaper.
My old car averaged about 40-45mpg, and i remember it cost me less than £300 in petrol.......

well if i had 15k to spend ......i wouldnt spend it on one car lol.
But if i had to, and i wanted a fast, reasonably economic sports estate.....

without a shadow of a doubt it would be a BMW 535d m sport touring.

like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-535d-M-Sport-Auto-Touring-High-Spec-Car-/360377163582?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item53e8271f3e#ht_2306wt_1139

Very crashy ride, run flats tram line all over ze place and split the rims. Still crashy with normal tyres fitted. IMO!
