another 100 mile day!

Poor wee car..

Up late for work this morning, so faster than usual on the commute



Late for work means catching all the traffic on the way home..4-5 mile tailback is normal still appears promising!



and lastly, out for dinner with my Godson and his little sister, then home again.



Can I make 400 on an indicated 1/2 tank?!


I've also figured something out..
the only downside is that the mechanical pump means no DFCO- if the engine is spinning, the pump is pumping..

However, I have a cunning plan- I can set the idle point lower than the current 980rpm, and just knock the car into neutral approaching roundabouts/junctions/lights etc
