Record tank in progress

I am working on a record tank for my car. I started filling my TDI to the brim 3 tanks ago and decided to be quite patient for a whole tank this time. By that I mean mostly sticking to 55 mph on the highway.

I will break the 1000 miles mark for sure, and may be able to get to 1100 miles if I keep a jerry can in the back. I am currently at 360 miles with around 5/6 th of the tank left, but the needle didn't really move before 240 miles. So far the SG stands at 67 mpg.

Whatever happens with this tank, I'll be shooting for 1200 miles for the next one. I have some due dilligence to pay. Let's just say I'm still carrying ballast from the green grand prix plus a lot of tools I need to work on the new house (which is nearing completion, finally!).
