Still going strong. That last 8 meter improved was caused by warm engine, lubricants and tires. Today I had also warm engine and the distance was again 8 meters longer... Also that how you drive those tight corners effect hugely to coasting distance on my route so the improvement is not that big anymore on that light but I think it still goes further any way you drive those corners. I will post a video of my usual test route to clear things out. That cutting corners made me think that stiff suspension will help also on that for sure, because there is not so much movement is suspension which eats energy...
