always happens! I used to ride a bike before I got my car licence and it tought me a lot in planning ahead and being in the right lane in the right time. always keeping an eye out for the car 5 cars ahead of you!

I don't have any instrumentation to give me immediate results yet I calculate my fe on each tank. fill up about 10 litres a time. that's why it took me a while to figure out I was getting worse mpg when the same 10 litres left the fuel needle nowhere near where it use to be.

first I thought its because here winter is setting in but winter here is like summer for the rest of you. morning temps rarely drop to 10 deg Celsius or 50 deg F compared to the usual 20 def mornings in summer. so I don't think its that.
