Don't get me wrong, I have legs on both sides, but I'm a DIY person with a strong need to solve various technical issues. So I'm ecomodding my car because it's a lot of fun and it has very positive impact on the environment and my budget (in a long run of course). I've adjusted the nut behind the wheel I would say drastically, and I'm hypermilling any car I have to drive, but regarding Berta I just want to prove to everybody that Beemer that is in common opinion (at least in Poland) a guzzler, can be fuel efficient.
My goals are clear, my budget is low so it'll take a while to reach the destination, but I'm focused and determined to get there.
