Finaly broke the 700km per tank

As the heading says I finally manged to get my car to break 700km per tank its only 706 roughly but I'll take it. To get up to speed I go between 2200-2900rpm, tires are properly inflated if I'm at a red I kill the engine. My tank says 45.4L but I can get an extra 8.5L in there so I manager 53.9L on a full tank. I did the math and it works out too 7.63L/100km combined. I'm still running a CAI but I do not use my heater at all if the window fogs I open the side doors (yes I am in Toronto area but hey I can handle the cold).

I think its fairly good since my car is rated at 12.4L/100Km in the city and 8.4L/100km on the highway so I'm feeling up and up about it. I still have the spare tire in the car and the rear seats. Hoping to have them out in the new year.
