Re: Question
I get about 220 miles per tank. It's a pretty tiny tank. I usually have trouble fitting 10 gallons into it, even if I've ignored the empty light for a good 30 miles.
Re: Question
I always get about 250 miles, mostly motorway.

Re: Question
A ZE can go past 7000 RPM just like the K8, but it's no longer necessary to scoot at a decent pace.
