Hi ausias,

You are right, I usually drive behind trucks (if available) at around 90 km/h.

Nobody ever said that this is representative driving style, but hey, this is ecomodder.com

The reason I drive this big van is that we need a big car for the family. My wife drives our other car (Golf VI 1.4L gasoline) and yields around 7L/100km... If I let her drive the van, she would surely go double-digit while I can drive the Golf at about 4-5L/100km. So, it is cheaper me driving the van and her driving the Golf

.

All that aside: I LIKE my T5!

so long,

Tinduck
