After driving 440km without the alternator activated. I saw an indicated lower fuel consumption of 10% on the scangauge.

The fuel gauge witch is extremely acurate to my surprise showed an lower fuel consumption of around 4 to 5%.

But for my spare time. I needed to do a round trip (total km = 550km) in less then 6h. (2 stops in that trip to pick up some goodies secondhand). This meant that i needed to drive the speedlimits of 120km/h (75mph) and in some places (around 175km =110miles total) a speedlimit of 130km/h (81mph).

Yesterday i filled the tank up. Because the next day fuel price went up. I did 999km with the tank and filled it up with 61L gives an average off 6,1l/100km.

That is extremely good. Normally this trip with winterdiesel the consuption is somewhere around 6,8l/100km.

This tank i cant do a full tank eather. I need to do that trip of 550km on monday again. Hopefully if i can leave on time. I can drive only 100km/h. I need to make only 1 stop.

Hopefully i can make my trunk reorganase. So it looks cleaner.
