BOOM even better tank. 3.49 l/100km or 67 mpg, but I'm told because my tires are larger than factory it's more like 69 mpg. A hair over 1100 kilometers. I try to buy ethanol free gas when possible. The place I live in Canada is quite close to a station that sells 87 octane e-free, but down here in the USA the closest place is much further and it sells 90 octane e-free. So I went with the 90 octane on this trip and well I don't know, the numbers speak for themselves I guess.

I finally got my EFAS switch working, and tried some EOC with it today. This next tank will hopefully be even better. There's a point on my commute home where if I hit about 60 kmh then I'll coast down and up and down 2 big hills and into the subdivision and onto my street, about 2 miles total, without using any gas. Before if I left it in 5th I'd use no gas but I would have to turn the engine back on just before I got to the subdivision, and sometimes I'd have to use gas to get up the very top of the bigger hill.
