Hi cfg83, fellow Wagoneer,

my car has a gasoline engine (1.8 l, 75 hp, 140 N.m torque @ 2500 rpm). Most "normal" drivers of the Golf wagon only get this sort of FE with the diesel engines. For comparison I typed my fuel log into a German FE site (www.spritmonitor.de) and of all 246 VW Golfs (sedans and wagons) registered there with 75 hp gasoline engines, I'm ranked #16! (Although I don't know what proportion of ecomodders/ecodrivers to normal drivers that site has.)

Cheers and thanks for all the welcomes, everybody!
