On winters with an inch larger diameter, and not really conservative with the throttle, my last tank was 470~ if you were to calculate it to full; filled it at quarter tank with 350km on my trip indicator. That is, of course, if the fuel gauge is accurate in my car, which I believe it so, I have pulled 600km out of this car in one tank in the past on the stock rubber.

Edit: I also look at my trip and how many litres I put into the car at fill up and they are accurate to fuel gauge. I actually have pics of trip/fuel filled if anyone is interested.
I am ballparking my range based on the length of my commute and approximately how long a tank of gas usually lasts assuming no superfluous driving. I should start to keep better track using the trip meter but I always forget to check it lol.

I'll try to do that on my next fill and compare mileage with different shift points.
