Sorry for the silence, too much free time

I had to let megane at the mechanic during a few days because the engine was staying on even when I had remove the keys... this is certainly the worse engine failure when you are trying to keep it on as few as possible.

Currently, at September 14th 2009, the odometer is at 1428.8km (888.0mi) and the pessimistic reading of the guessgauge is at 52L (13.74ga) so 3.64L/100 (64.6mpg) ie around 44L (11.5ga) saved and 44€ (11€ to each site).

I had to do several days of city driving and the traffic jams are back again

I will not be able to reach 1700 km with the current tank in the aim to achieve an average of 1000 mi per tank for the last 4 tanks, but I'll achieve a 3rd kilo-tank

I will also have to do other city driving before the end of the month and I may have to travel 500km (300mi) on highway.

During last 2 weeks I received 3 additional postcards

thanks again. I have 6 postcards already received so 6€ to share.

I updated the 1st post.

Denis.
