Salut!

I travel arourd 100km/day to go work.
I live beside 640/337 and work nead 13/520.

90%+ highway.

En bonc francais, faut tricotter en sale pour faire du Lean-Burn!

Lean-burn is hard ti maintain and almost imposible to do in slight acceleration.
My VX was a way more permisive on Lean-Burn.

But the weight helps to get great consumption number.

The best tank I made on my VX was 3.3l/100km.
Worst, 5.74L/100km.
Average of 4.94L/100km in 5 year and 142 500km.

The insight, when I work hard to stay in lean burn, on a 50km trip, I made 2.2L/100km.
"Normal" driving Is more 2.7 to 2.9L/100km.
If I dont take care, 3.2L/100km.

The car has 215 000km and life time counter is at 4.5L/100km.
My friend that sell me this car as it for over 10 year.
He is 6'5" and 260 pound.
He work at 5 minute of is house and weekend go to his 2nd house 125km away from his home.
Car run each season.

The seat are original one that has been cover by a shop in US. He send his seat cover because the where the fist insight one he made and sketck them to have a pettern.

Here is how they loolnlike.
