Thanks, I will try to remember that the next time

Finally I have the FE numbers. We did 404 kms, filling up with 28.26 ltrs of fuel for a final FE of exactly 7.0 ltrs / 100 km or 33.6 MPGus.

What's more interesting is the split FE for each day:
- Day 1 = 284 kms and 7.2 ltr/100km. This included going to Wyszków, quite a lot of thrashing the car and then getting back to Warsaw
- Day 2 = 120 kms and 6.55 ltr/100km. This included going to Wyszków, 2 very short runs and going back to Warsaw at a steady 80km/h. There was a traffic jam when entering the city, but other than that - just taking it easy at 80 km/h on the expressway (getting passed by literally everything, from other 'centos through buses to long-haul trucks).

What this means for me is that getting less than 6 ltr/100km is going to be VERY hard. What's better for FE than a constant-low-speed-top-gear ride for several kilometers? (well, ok, perhaps P&G, but I'm not going to do it for several kilometers, in traffic, on an expressway)
