i get round 350-400km tank of ulp, if i drive really slow and baby the damn thing.

if i enjoy myself, i get an average of 340km/tank, but im only guessing, cos my odometer is stuffed.

i have a high-comp 2ltr with full 2"exhaust, extractors, crow cam, and a dirty great 38dgms weber.

but my rocker is painted, so it dont go too hard.....lol.

I get just over 300 outta a tank with my gem, using optimax.
G180 with a semi-racing tighe cam, extractors, 2 1/4 zorst and twin 40mm webers. Good ol 4 primary barrels, always a bit thirsty on the fuel. It's out of tune also.
Can get about 50km more if I do some highway driving on the tank. Used to get bit over 400 a tank before the webers and cam.
