Anyone made 700 miles?

[johnd]

Out and about today post fill-up and noticed I was showing 665 miles range which is a little unusual. Actually the range did creep up further to show 675 and in fact I'd travelled about 30 miles after the fill-up so I must have made 700+ miles range, though no photo of that! Not trying hard at all but just busy Norfolk A roads limiting speeds to 50-55 and virtually no overtaking opportunities.

Obviously one of the 2 alerts is a fuel gauge fault.

(only ever seen 375 on mine.....)

I have seen +700km on the display at the petrol pump, but it evaporated at a faster rate than I travelled [emoji3166]

Just for everyone's peace of mind - the alerts are pressure marginally down in a couple of tyres. Needs a visit to an air pump that I trust!

It would take three tank fulls of the best stuff in the 911 to get 700 miles, but then I would be having a lot of fun

To be clear, I didn't set out on any sort of economy run - it was just another routine journey and I certainly wasn't having much fun either .

It's all down to the state of the roads in these parts - in the past the traffic density hasn't been high enough to merit significant dualling but now that times have changed it's too expensive to do so! A familiar tale I expect.

I know some of the Audi's had a huge range - 700 miles + but they possibly had a bigger fuel tank - possibly 80 litres.

I've "only" got the 60 litre tank anyway.

I managed 760 today...with my 100ltr fuel tank

I managed to squeeze 400 recently. Turbo.
Slightly embarrassing. Clearly want having any fun.
