I keep a fuel economy spd sheet (because I can) and based upon the economy achieved since the last fill I also calculate the maximum number of kms I could have done on that tank. On average, over the last 10,000km, I could have achieved 642km per tank

I just finished a 100hr cycle at 7.5, so pretty happy with that.
I'm rarely in heavy traffic, and usually go 600km+ before filling up.

no no sorry not dry.. just very close to going by the distance to empty figure.
should really keep track of kms vs amount filled.. one of these days...

Owning an R and keeping track of fuel use is like ordering a gourmet meal and eating rice crackers

I don't know how anyone gets 600km+. I think I'm doing well if I get over 450km.
