My range capability is great , only the limitation of being able to show a maximum 620 miles, but I guess it's because 620 miles is about 999 km, which is the maximum that can be displayed.
I thought by switching from KM to miles, I'd out smart the cluster!
But no go...

I was asking why you would like the display to be able to show a higher number of miles than 620? Are fuel stations farther apart than 620 miles?

Psh Max didn't have a range gauge on his V8 interceptor.

Nothing like the economy and consequential range of the 3.0 Diesel. Saw 39.7 on the display for a period on the same day. Granted I am not doing 75 mph, but our police have a firm dislike to exceeding the 110 km/hour limit, though they readily accept the $'s when you are caught.
