With driving only 800km each tank. It cost me around 200 euro's each month on fuel. So. That get me started to think.

I needed to make the car more economical. The first step:

Changing driving style part 1:
Lowering highway speed from 120km/h to 100km/h.
Gains? Absolutely! Consumption went from 8,75l/100km to 7,4l! So i could drive 950 km with one tank of diesel.
