For the starters, you might want to go to the wwiiaircraftperformance.com, and check out the data for the Fw-190 types there.
 
Thank you. I've been looking at wwiiaircraftperformance now for a couple of years. I don't read German and most of what I've seen has been for level speed and other performance characteristics, stuff besides range figures. But, I checked it again because of the suggestion above and found one German language page about the Fw-190A-3 that covered range. Range with internal fuel of 515 liters of "Kraftstoff" at several different speeds and altitudes and with the 515 liters of internal fuel plus a 300 liter abwurfbehalter, which I found out means drop tank, at different speeds and altitudes. But I still don't have info on the A5/U8 with two 300 liter drop tanks. Not exactly a long range aircraft, was it? Fuel consumption of the BMW 801D must have been excessive.
 
As far as I can make out from Dietmar Hermann's book - Focke Wulf Fw190 F und G the range was 1650km
Hope this helps:D
