I did 740km from Sydney with a boot full and car full to the roofline with 3 people. Barely fit my mates missus in the back seat. Considering my best is 820km from a tank, I musn't have done too badly wih the car fully loaded. I still get 500 to 550km from a tank even towing my boat or jetski. |

My XF used to pull 10-11l/100km on the freeway and got 600+ km tank, and that was a late 80's shitbox with half the efficiency benefits a NC would have got. |

It is a hybrid engine. When I did an 820km tank, it had the hybrid head on it. When I did the trip from Sydney, I cant remember if it had the hybrid head or my newly installed 94DT EF head. At the moment it still has the 94DT head. |

I spoke to this place called Mikes Dynotuning a while back. They said they can do a tune for about $125 plus parts. Siad he will need it for a couple of hours. This sound about right?

Unless you have a reprogrammable chip, you can't really get a "tune." They can check your A:F ratio, power etc but there isn't much in the way of tuning it.
