That is some nice avg speed. For refence I appreciate all fuel logs which have even some data of what have happened during fillups . It is much easier to estimate how other cars is running if you have even some data of the speeds driven and other mods made etc.

When you P&G does your engine sometimes rev up before the clutch bites in? I have this kind of problems if I am on the throttle when I put the gear in :/.

I also today hunted those 145/80R14 tires with no luck. Also those 155/80R14 Toyo tires are under rock. I finded only Nangkang on that size and that is a no go even for a test. I will propably see shortly guys from Nokia at Power truck show:
Power Truck Show - Galleria which is a trade show and truck show. Tires that I will need for my Lupo 3L will also fit your car for sure .

Today the cars inspection was a clear pass and the modding can really begin. Today installed smooth tinted polycarbonate TuneCovers:
Less drag = Less fuel | Aluminium wheel hubcaps | Eco Tuning --> Tuneko Ltd
