I managed to turn around and go back down a "street". That had enough gravel to keep away the mud, and I could park in the bottom end of the garden. So I didn't had to walk more than 50 meters, I was just a bit angry for wasting fuel on that attempt.

This also contributes to my last, worse-than-3l-per-100km tank. Not as much as babying the dying drive belt with sluggish accelerations and seldom shifting to 5th lacking the necessary speed, though. And not as much as pouring rain over one of the commutes. Those surely didn't do any good to FE.
