Thanks, I just did.
The intermediate result of me joining the team is that we've dropped behind team VW Audi by a hair, sorry for that. But I've put some more air in those tires and the frost over here is gone, so I'll make amends.

Just got 6.2 l/100 km (37 mpg) average in 7 km on a bunch of very short trips (shopping, school; my wife is ill) engine just cold every time. That's better MPG than I got on the first 7 km of any trip I've done in the last 2 weeks, and they weren't interrupted like this.
It all confused the Insight, it even gave electric drive for a while with the blue Cold engine light on! A first for me.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
