The new tank has only ~50km of that 2-up trip, the rest was in dry and calm weather. Mornings are still cool, but afternoons are really warm (20+C). All in all, I'm under 3l again - 2.97 is the last tank (some 79.1mpg or so).

Teresa is over 70.000 km (by odo, a bit more irl), so we had the next periodic maintenance this week. The most significant change: she got new tires (heidenau k73). Which brought up another question about the distances. I may have to correct my tripmeter data. An example, my short commute route according to...

Ciliegia: 24.9-25.0km
Google maps: 24.8km
Teresa+Metzeler Z6: 24.6km
Teresa+Heidenau K73: 24.4km

Now what?

One more note: I'm thinking about making something like a bumper sticker, not to be seen while riding, just to show my dedication to efficiency. I have a concept and I plan to realize it with shiNIN's help (because I can't draw). It'll be, well, ****ed up For real.
