Google translate from Swedish AMS:

Jens Trulsson has gone once around southern Sweden and is now calling from Örebro with an empty tank. The question is if the average speed is high enough - or he will be disqualified?

Perhaps it does not sound Orebro as exotic as Amsterdam or Munich. But Jens Trulsson chose Targa Snålio-road with care: there was a turn around Götaland. From Stockholm to Helsingborg, on to Gothenburg and then E20 to Örebro. When he calls the idea is bone-dry after 107 miles of driving.
"E20 was a katastrofval the beginning., I had a few mil to if it were not for the E20 is a road with a traffic stop and the red light and Harvester and intersections. There were two red light I had to stop at., I got much longer than I thought, hoped the 100 mil, it sounded possible. trip computer so long as the scope was at 760 km. But after 14 hours, it was then 107 mil. "
A real thriller played out, however: average speed dropped to 80 km / h for a minute after Jens stopped. According to the rulebook will average speed to be higher than 80. But Jens managed to take a picture of the instrument panel just after the stop - and there are 81 km / h, and he is therefore approved. And not only that: he has won over arch rival Frederick Huldt the BMW M5 which was 104 mil. 2-0 for normally-aspirated engines, therefore, after John had ran out of gas in his Ford Focus .
 
What's the size of the tank in a W12 A8? 100 liters? Deckhook?
 
WHAT? 1000 km on one single tank is just an amazing number. Tech just flies nowadays.
 
What? it also says the M5 with 560 hp manage 104 mil (1040 kilometers). Thats impossible!!

 
^ It could be possible on cruise control at 1200 rpm I guess. But it's still a meaningless PR number that one will never achieve irl (while still driving normally). At least not in an M5 or W12..
 
Actually, I would really like to know how was that possible.

Easily. Drive on constant throttle, no overtakes, between 2000 and 2600 rpm. I managed 960km in one tank with my S60 2.0T a year ago.
