This is what i did:



Just cut some random stuff away



Attach to your car:





Drive 2 days around, notice that the scangauge is giving a better fuel economy number, so i decided to paint it:


A few small layors of paint and 24h of driing time, reatach to the car:

With:


This is already on my car for the past 1500km and survived a few hours driving at 120km/h and haf an our at 140km/h with heavy wind head on.

I want to safe fuel at stop lights and when i have a long coast, every day when i drive to work, i have a 2km long road where i can shut my engine of. So is installing a kill swiths dificult?
Is it ok, because i have a turbocharger? hot and oil???

Because a few days ago, the fuel price of diesel would go up, i filled up the tank.

I drove 896km, and filled my tank up with 52,36l, giving me an average of 5,84

Goal to beat: 6l/100km, that was easy....
I now can drive 1200km on one tank of diesel.
If those numbers keep consistant.

So, time for the next goal, maybe 1300km on one tank?
That means i need to get an average of 5,5l/100km.
Lets drop the consumption with 0,4l, thats gonne be dificult.
Or not?
