With DRL led lights and full frontal grill block I was today able to reach 2.78 l/100km (84,54 MPG US) @ 95 km/h avg speed with my lupo 3L. For very short time it is possible to drive the car close to that 100 MPG us mark but I dont have the patience for it. It would require avg speed which is about 70...75 km/h. Behind a truck @ 88 km/h you can reach 2.4 l/100km with cars gauge. Today my gauge was off by 0.2 liters or 7%.

Rest of the weeks mods will be 135/80R15 tires to front and smaller wide view mirrors. I will try new idea with my mirrors.
