I'll have to try 4th and see if it's repeatable

Going 85 kph (53 mph) @ 43.5 km/L (102 mpg) - doing ??? rpm - with a bit of drafting. I'll try to repeat it tomorrow in the wee hours.

What will Svetlana do in these conditions ?
I'll have to remember to check next time.

The P307sw is pretty large for a station wagon (the only larger one which comes to mind is the Citroën C5), it's almost a minivan. A eurovan, in fact. But the Wife learned to drive in a 3-door Yaris with a tiny little engine. One of the things she can't get used to in our diesel is that it just keeps going in 2nd or even 3rd when she takes her foot off the gas. It freaks her out. Another is all the attention Svietlana tends to get, which doesn't make the situation around us any safer
But little blonde women in big SUVs are a totally different story...
