maybe, although thats not a factor in this Diesel Golf..

getting the brakes warm requires momentum- something the engine is not overly keen to provide!

anyways, back on topic...

this morning, I'm at 300 miles for an indicated 3/8ths of a tank- thats 30 miles more than previous for that mark..

If i can make it to 400 at 1/2 tank indicated, we may be onto something
