Not normally the tool of choice for 1600 miles in two days - respect

200 odd miles range isn’t a lot. Does it have a 90L tank?

No, its got the standard tank which I believe is around 15 gallons.

I see. That’s a pity. One thing I like about LHD 911s is the option of 90L tank.

RHD have no such option and stuck with 64L.

I did buy the GT3 RS second hand so didn't ever have the option on the larger tank.

I have about a 200 mile range with the M3 and I do about 8-10k miles a year. I know the local Shell staff pretty well!

I chuckled when I saw the line (I'm paraphrasing) 'at least I got the chance to stretch my legs every couple of hours'. My full to empty best on the VR6, three up with three bikes on the back, steady 200 kph on a highway through the Alps, was about 80 minutes on a tank - handy for me and my incredibly arthritic hip at the time!

(this is where Jobson tells me it was broken and his Corrado would do 1000 mpg around town in first or something)

It's great to read about there being fun roads in the US (apart from in the occasional evo article). From my very limited experience it's all wide highways and intersections.

Sounds like an ideal place to have a GT3 RS tucked away.

There are some great roads in the US. They just tend to be a scattered in pockets around the country.

It was a good trick that the Corrado played, being both faster and more economical than the Golf VR6

It had a 15 gallon fuel tank too, IIRC, so did 400 miles per tank relatively easily.

Contemporary road tests seemed to be bear that out as well. I REALLY wanted a Corrado VR6.

Mine managed upto 37.3mpg on the motorway

Thanks. Thought I was losing my mind for a second.
