Yep, when I bought the car, the PO showed me how to push the "secret button" to open the vent valve and fill the vent tank. I have tried twice to completely fill the entire tank system, but it takes too long. I will allow lots of time on my next fillup and push that button as many times as it takes to fill the entire system.
Based on my current mileage, I am almost 600 KM on half a tank. That is looking closer to 75+MPG (US). That seems about right for this car.
I would love to have this car in the US and add an internal aux tank. Imagine driving 2000 miles unrefueled routinely? I can.
