With new cam/head complete top end, i managed 520 km's on the highway :D

Mind you i am now running 3.9's and over 330 rwkw...After the next phase of engine mods, im guessing that will drop again to about 450.

fuel

Hi

i jump for joy if i get 400-450 a tank out of my vx2 ss m6 around town but get 650 on highway.

im led to believe that all tanks are 75l but the distance to empty kicks in with about 10-15l left in the tank.

If you hold the mode button and the up button as you turn on your ignition on then release it and press the mode button several times it will give you a reading of how much fuel is still in your tank, when its saying its empty.
