Actually, you're getting almost 300 miles per tank (divide your km by 1.6).
But, you will probably notice it gets a little better after the break-in of
a couple thousand kms.
Although, my V8 is getting brutal mileage, so i'm not the expert to be
commenting on it. :)
And as for power off the line, put your foot through the floor, again after
break-in. If that doesn't help, get a supercharger or a lot of nitrous.
