New personal fuel consumption record is set now to 2.158 l/100km at 92.7km/h actual average speed taken from ultragauge. For US friends that is 109 MPGus at 57.6 MPH. Car is capable to go two liters at 100 km/h on flat road. Distance driven today was 497,17 km and fuel fillup was 10.73 liters. Video will follow but propably tomorrow as todays target is still to install those bigger injectors.

just to give perspective with that result I would have propably won the Xprize contest!. winner edison 2 average fuel consumption was 117 MPGe with only 73,2 km/h averge speed on highway finals.

Could people who have studied more those xprize calculation formulas can give some answer?
