Regularly saw 350+ in my VTR.
When I do a tank in my S, I get around 320, mix of a tiny bit of town & motorway.

Sure it doesn't need a service or something?
Or does someone have a heavy right foot?

Probs needs a service and as well I've never run a whole tank down, just doing it off half a tank and doubling so might be a bit more.
Well I hope!

Try using the full tank, and see what you get then.
Not just "half" and double it.

Got 290 miles off half a tank in my Furio.. Motorway driving with roadworks for about 20 miles and doing 0-10mph, thought this was good!
