Woohoo! And likely the last fill of the year:
- 696 km / 432 miles
- 50.98 mpg (US) = 4.6 L/100 km
New mods added during this tank:
- first full tank with the 15 inch tires on the rear
- all oils changed to lighter & synth (engine, trans & diff)
- rear wheel skirts in place for a chunk of this tank (did they help? who knows!)
- MAF (mass air flow sensor) adjustment
- WAI (warm air intake) last portion of the tank
- lightened by a few more lbs
Driving style/conditions:
- same as usual, meaning relaxed cruising on the scenic routes & back roads
- DWB -- "driving without brakes" -- in the twisties though!
- 80 km/h maximum posted limit (50 mph)
- driving with load when no following traffic
- engine off toward stops & some turns & on some hills
- top & side windows down ~90% of the time
- conditions: dry, mild (~20C) first 2/3 of tank; cool (~13C) the rest
