10k mile report
Just completed my first 10k miles in my 07 v8v. Car is equipped with every option and has power upgrade and high flow cats. First and foremost, the car, though used as a dd, continues to make every little journey an occasion. I am more impressed with design and build quality with the passage of time and accumulation of miles.
Observations :
1. Gas quality dramatically impacts performance and gas mileage.
2. Not tightening the fuel cap properly will cause an emission system service fault that must be cleared.
3. Michelin PSS are the tires for this car (IMO)
4. You will never tire of hearing the engine over 5krpm.

@Christiaan0922 -- Your V12 is old school like mine. Nothing is variable, so it can't take advantage of higher grade fuel, and there are no knock sensors so it can't adjust for poor quality gas either.
I always fill mine with the best at the pump on the premise that (a) I want to avoid any knocking and (b) higher quality gas should have more & better additives.
