My car needs 3,43 gal/100 miles, it's $7.66 here in Moscow traffic. Is it cheap?
Actually, it's not just a nice car, I'm often driving to S.Petersburg by highway which is 420 miles far away from Moscow so I'm using just one gas tank and driving over there for 2 days in the city on the same tank. At least it's very efficient, isnt't?

$7.66 per gallon is incredibly expensive by the US standards. I don't believe many places in the US (besides maybe Alaska or Hawaii) have gasoline prices above $2.5 per gallon as of right now.
As for efficiency, it's all relative - LS600hl gets 4 more miles to the gallon in the city and 1 fewer mile to the gallon on the highway when compared to the LS460L AWD. But when you buy a car like priced like the LS600hl, fuel economy is probably not the most important factor anyway.

Actually, $7.66 for 3,43 gallons, not for 1. Anyway, you're right - I wasn't thinking about fuel economy at all. Especially comparing to retail of my car - $194'400 )))

In that case, it's about the same as in the US - $2.23/gallon. Nice car, Oli!
May I ask how prestigious the LS is in Moscow when compared to competitors like the S-klasse, the 7-series and the Audi A8? Are the LS460/LS600h pretty rare out there?

LS got the second overall place in this segment after S-klasse, then 7-series and A8. LS460 to LS600 sales is about 50/50. S-klasse of course much more prestigious like in US )))
Actually, LS not rare here. For example, drinking coffee on the street during next 10 mins you can see 10 S-klasses, 3-4 LS, maybe 4-6 of 7-series and 2-3 A8s.
