This last tank I got 615 kilometres to a tank! That works out as 9.164L/100km - the lowest I've ever gotten.

It turns out I've been really good at going easy on the throttle - after the halfway mark on the fuel gauge. This time I made sure to drive easy right from the start, and it makes a big difference. I guess that makes sense as the car is heaviest then.

Now I just have to do that from now on. :P
