Being rich standard explains why with a bit of leaning in the cruise cells I can get so much distance on a tank! (700km odd)


The most I can get out of a tank is 350-400kms, and thats highway driving! In the city its closer to 300km per tank. Why is your economy so freakin high!!!!?????

Driving conditions/style? I idle at 14:1, 15.5:1 in low load cruise and around 12.5:1 in high MAP areas.

4.1 Torsen, 6 speed and a B6 motor.

Driving the car hard (on the road) I get around 350-400km ~ 35L, on the track 250-300km and no less than 500km driving normally on the road.
