    Nope but there is a thread about it with pictures and mileage strategies. If you want I can find the link. My second highest is 703. I expect to have a high one this tank. Most of my recent tanks are 650 miles. My last one was 667.

    I can only aspire to that kind of mileage. Right now, I'm only hoping to make it to 750 or 800kms

    oh my goodness. My best tank is 702.1km and 33 litres. MFD showed 4.5, calc'd 4.8

    This was at the blinking light as I entered the station.

    But then, the Classic doesn't have a bladder right?

    Please do post that, if you don't mind. I am still tying to get in the groove of high(er) mileage driving.

    yup the Classic has a bladder with all the associated problems of the 2k4-5. Most of that tank was on the I-5 going to Lacey ( Olympia ) and back and then 2 day's commute to work. I could have gone over 800 but there was a gas war on and got it for 90.5 a liter, so had to fill it. Good thing I did as the next day it was $1.049 On the I-5 I was on cruise and set at mostly 70-75 MPH depending on what the traffic was doing.
