shorter ratios on the dc2r, engine torque has nothing to do with it

btw, my d16y4 sits at 2.8 rpms @ 110 kmh on highway driving..

do the math - a full tank of 98 octane , on a eg hatch is about 35-36 litres right ? I filled 35 in (first click) , got to coffs harbour and half back again then to wakefield and back. 2 tanks both with 700. No lies here.
Off highcam , consistant revs on the hwy should give decent results as above.

If I used to 530km+ city driving in my old EG GLi hatch, I don't see why it's not possible for you to get a few hundred more on the highway.

Very good efficiency...

I got close to 600km (highway driving) last time in my old EG with the B18c7 with the bolt-ons.

100 or so ks more isnt hard to pull out of a light eg running this engine. I guess the standard ecu makes the difference
