    I didn't use the air conditioner today, drove below 100km/h and my fuel consumption came right down. Usually I can only manage 5.3-5.6l/100km.

    I was beginning to feel left out.

    Nice work!

    I wish the rest of us had the option of a metric MFD.

    I went on a diet recently and lost 6kg (12 pounds) maybe that helped... :lol:

    I'm still running "normal" tire pressures so I'm gonna increase them and see how well I can do.
