To have more often results (my European car is 7 years too old to be EOBD/OBDII) I filled up after 2 weeks, so at mid tank. As usually, I filled up at the same pump, I paused 6 seconds after the 1st click before filling up to the 2nd click. But I got so better results that it may have been caused by a short fill...

The car changed a lot with the rear wheel skirts and the hotter temps : the turbo activates more easily and my old habits (fast accelerations) are back  . By modifying more my driving (trying to avoid turbo activation and coming back to my max speed before the skirts) I should do even better

I relearned my car and it seams I'm smoother. I also made the following changes :
- slower P&G (NICE-On) at 70-80 km/h (43.5-49.7 mph) instead of 75-85 (46.6-52.8),
- 2 or 3 EOC (on 500-750 feet each) per day during the second week (lower than 0.5% of total distance).
- upper grill block => engine is hot after 5-6 km instead of 9-10 and stays hot much longer
- folded passenger mirror during second week
- removed wipers during 2 days of second week

Others are always over my best tank.

[...] I'll emit less CO2 than a Prius II as soon as I have improved by 6%.

At 2.66 kg CO2/L, I emitted 100.1 g/km, ie I beat all hybrids available in France : InsightII (101g/km), Prius II (104g/km) and HCHII (109g/km). I have to improve by 11.1% to achive Prius III (89g/km).
