target is 2liter fuel consumption at 100 km/h average speed so while using 100% push and glide technigue 95 to 110 km/h. Push will be under 3.4 seconds and glide 16.6 secods or with same percentage difference. So same results will follow with 1.7 second push and glide 8.3 seconds or something between. So the target is not with everyday driving but I targets gets bigger during projects. Ofcourse the tank average consumption will be easily closer to two liters or 100 MPG because you cannot drive 100 km/h speeds or 62 MPH normally the whole tank in finland.

ECU will be tuned for Neste green diesel which cetan value is 54-56 when its in finnish normal diesel 50-51. Tuning will be done most likely one the finnish best diesel tuners called Karala.

Edit: Will make tomorrow some test run to test the cars current performance FE wise. It should be able to get close to previous best or maybe even better. Only worst mod is at the moment stock mirrors in place.

But improvents since last november are:
Better undertray
better exhaust piping
Big kammback spoiler
few minor tweaks here and there, like those oils...

Video of making the undertray:
