Yep I regularly show more than 600 miles after a fill-up with the extended range fuel tank. Amazingly low fuel consumption considering the cars' performance. I have exactly 1,200 miles on my GTS and getting 23.1 mpg since new.
Very impressive! My C63 has netted me a solid 15mpg over the 9k miles I've had it... It will be nice to upgrade to a more fuel efficient, environmentally friendly car! 😂😂

I feel like if you're getting 600 miles or 958 km per tank, you're not driving the car properly.
I achieved a little over 500 miles per tank during my road trip from So.Cal to Sedona, Arizona a few weeks ago (..my car has the regular fuel tank). I averaged about 75-80 MPH during the freeway portion(s) of the road trip. While it is unlikely that I would've been cited had I driven faster and been pulled over (..my plates come back to my department and/or I would have produced my badge if pulled over), non-law enforcement assume a more significant risk driving any faster on public roads. At what point or at what speed [on public roads] would constitute, "driving the car properly"?

No, it's just something I hear echoed a lot so it piques my interest. I also deal with the aftermath of the high speed jaunts gone wrong (...like the girl who took her dad's Porsche for a high speed jaunt on the toll road, crashed, and left parts of her body strewn down the freeway for about a quarter of a mile; I responded to that crash with my prior agency and it was a sight), so I take a vested interest in it.
OK, no more LEO soapbox. On to excessive speeds on public roads. Enjoy!
P.S. I did pull this guy over. He was cool.

I wonder that too and I guess it depends on people.
I like to do some accelerations from time to time but I also like to take my time by driving at 90kmh , with a good music and nice scenery.
My car has currently only 500km since its brand new so I rather take it slow for a while
