I usually get 420-460kms out of the 72? litre tank around town.
On a trip i can get 500-550.

95 limited, 270000km engine

Definatly worth removing the silencer. I noticed a slight difference when i removed mine.

Glad the site has been of use to you and the more things you apply from there the better as that is what it is there for.
