If you drive conservitably 1/2 the time and semi hard the other half you should be able to stretch it to about 320 Km's to the tank. If you switch to 3.73 gears its unbelievable but you'll get around 400 + Km's to the tank a **** you not!
yes you will see that many km's UNTIL YOU CHANGE YOUR SPEEDO GEAR TO THE CORRECT TOOTH RATIO and then the extra km's go away

10-12 city, 15-17 highway..if I go2000 RPM's on the highway { around 62 MPH's } I've gotten 17.6 on trips..Aint cheap to run these cars but I figure most SUV's get this sort of milage, & my stang is much cooler & more fun then any SUV
