Vekke, is it at a steady speed or with Pulse & Glide ?
I'm doing P&G @ 70-85 km/h (43-53 mph) with my old 1.9L turbo diesel (without direct injection not high pressure) and I'm reaching 3.15 L/100 = 74.67 mpg(US), hoping to reach 3.0 L/100 with my current tank to beat that record.
@ a steady 90km/h I'm reaching 3.8 L/100 = 61.9 mpg(US).
Have fun,

That is with full P&G driving from 95 to 110 km/h. @ 100 km/h avg speed P is about 7 seconds and glide 10 seconds. My old seat glided about 16 seconds in those speeds so there is lots improvement left to that. In long uphills I use glide with load to get the hill up with one glide.
Good luck and patience to your goal also. I plan to try drive 2000 km on one tank later this year with my Lupo 40 liter tank
