Results of todays tests:

Coastdown test:

120-85 km/h (2km/h) better than the last two tests and second best result overall.

I should get a second clock so I would get more accurate results :/.

My usual test leg:

Second best result, without almost any drafting help.

AVG consumtion 2.4 l/100km AVG speed 78 km/h. 0.15 litres better than the previous two tests.

Best is currently 2.3 l/100km with 78 km/h, but this was behind a big truck.

YOU should also notice that my SG is now calibrated so that it show ca. 0.2 litres too low litres consumtion for tank calculations. Last tank SG showed me 3.0 litres, but the result was 3.25 litres/100km. Those results are still comparable for each other because I havent chanced the SG calibration value.

What do you think is it worth to recalibrate the SG because it starts to show more and more too low (l/100 km) figures compared to actual figures?
