Ah but here we have the wind!

That is seriously economical driving, but I believe your ambition stretches beyond 40.1

Thanks for the pics, the cars looks very clean. Is it allowed in Germany to remove your right mirror to reduce frontal area? Here it is allowed if you car is registered before 2010, so I did that. I put a convex mirror on the inside to have some view left, but mostly I just turn my head to check no-one is there I should add a pic of that (the mirror I mean).

My LPG system is with injectors, I should find out a way to trick the ECU to let it think the engine is warmed up so it switches to LPG.

I believe WAI will work as it works for most cars on petrol, at least you should have some benefit from reduced pumping losses and slightly faster warmup. It does have an oxygen sensor, right?
