        I get 32mpg at 80mph (128 kmh) on the highway, which would be 13.5
km/L or 691 km range on the 13.5 gallon (51.03 L) tank.  Aren't conversions fun?

        Anyway, I have the K&N and a wild cam and a ported head, so my
engine doesn't have to work as hard just to bring air in, which does seem to
help.  Especially since my milage went up 2mpg after having the head done.

        BTW:  My around town milage sucks ~20mpg, but I do really get on the
gas all the time.
