that's 480km to 72L of gas. I'm lucky if i get 380km's (236 miles) out of a 70L (19 gallon) tank, speically in the summer around the city. on the open highway, with my exhaust cutout fully open (using a 3"open downpipe right off the second turbo) i can get upwards of 28 MPG on highway, on an average of 70-80 mph

so that sounds about right for yours, try taking longer trips. i average about 12 mpg in the city in the summer
