When I drove my '88 3.2 (totally original)home to Ireland, after buying in Germany, I put 2.5 litres in during the 2600 km run, none of it at 150mph but some of it at around 135. When I queried the consumption with the specialist who maintained her in Germany I was told this was quite normal. I have since put on about 1200 kms and added no more oil but I have to drive more sedately here because of speed limits and am still only getting comfortable with a lefty in a righty environment.
