200miles!!! no way, you are p**s taking...

I can vouch for this, I regularly get 200 miles between fills, OK the light starts flashing around mid 180s but I worked it out at 64.35m/gallon once and that was with bog standard unleaded. I just don't hammer her but can still get up a respectable speed 80+ but without the heavy acceleration. Someone will probably tell me I'm damaging the engine...
