To be fair, the W12 engine models were not blessed with a great range to start with. Especially if you were driving the automobile in "normal" fashion. They are very thirsty mashines with 90 L tank - the official 13L / 100 km consumprion is a very 'idealistic' information, you can easily double the fuel consumption.

That is why the V8/V8S got so popular and had far more then 50% share when I quit. The range (and more sportive driving characteristic) in comparison to the W12/W12 attracted more clients. That might have changed with the Gen3 GTs, since they use a different platform.
