M4 Sherman "The Right Tank for the Wrong War"

The_Chieftain: On paper, the German fuel economy seems to have been surprisingly good, actually. Unfortunately, I have not seen a 'service test'. I know how much fuel it takes a Sherman to drive 200 miles because I've found the test report saying "We filled it up, drove it 200 miles, and then measured the difference", and the number ended up fairly similar to the official range of Panther per litre. Of course, the question unresolved is just how close Panther or Pz IV got to their official listings for fuel economy.
