    Mine was my Magnum R/T. That thing cruised like nothing I have had since. My 328 is good, but that Magnum was nice. It wasn't even that bad on gas.

    First gut reaction was a 1996 Roadmaster, but I think the stereo would let it down. Going with a late model LX570 or LS600

    I forgot about the roadmaster. Fastest couch I've ever driven.

    Yep, any late gen b-body is the definition of comfort. And even with the iron headed lt1, they'll do good mpg if you keep speeds sane.

    I had a GLE diesel for a while, biggest piece of shit I've ever owned due to the engine, non stop emission control issues. Rest of it was alright though.

    Any of the Suburban/Tahoe/Expeditions rentals we've used are a dream on the highway.

    Is a GT3 Touring really that great for putting mindless miles on a highway?

    It’s difficult to compete with a big SUV with plush suspension for that task.

    I feel like a full size LWB RR with the lounge second row gets my vote these days. Non SVR. Just smooth and soft.

    Anything limited to less than 180km/h by either a limiter or fuel economy going to shit (not so much cost, but increased stops to fill, also applies to electric) should not be making any lists /Alex Roy

    Are there many cars out there that can go over 180kph without fuel economy going to shit?

    Well there is shit, then there is shit… anything shaped like a brick is proper shit… ie. suv/truck, especially with forced induction

    aerodynamic car with a big old N/A engine do surprisingly better as a ratio to consumption, vettes, s-class/7 series/LS/etc will do well

    And I’d say a lot of the stuff mentioned recently falls on its face way lower… like the 130-150km/h range

    The big Ferrari cars hold something like 90+L of fuel, so when you stop it will be expensive, but even at 300km/h you should be able to go for awhile.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my old SL500 has an 80L tank. It's wonderful.

    I like this choice. Although might be a bit above my class.

    Not me, I picked one that gets 70-90L/100km. And it's the most comfortable. Mine was the only sensible pick so far.
