that's almost half of the mpg you should be getting. tbh, v power will make no difference at all.

Yeah that's not good miles to the tank at all . Well thats if u have been driving economically . Should be getting at least 300+ . last weekend for fcs I managed to get 330 miles from a fully brimmed tank out of my vts . Give it a good service?
