| | | top speed and gas mileage
Just got back from a 3 day trip thru BC, Alberta, Montana and Idaho. I attained a speed of 141mph and climbing before I ran out of road. Secondly, I put 223 miles on 18.4 litres of gas (55mpg). I wouldn't of believed it if I hadn't experienced it myself. Anybody else with a similiar story? |

| | | That appears to be a significant mile stone. Although I calculate 46mph from your mixed miles and liters. That's still above the advertised 39. 223/4.8gal??

| | Congrats. I suppose the 223 mile tank wasn't the one you did the top speed run on?

| | | actually, that tank of gas was the one I ran 141 mph on. Food for thought, I used premium gas on that particular tank and will forever more. I'm still in disbelief and impressed |
