first kilotank (1k+ km = 620+ miles) in the beater Metro: 72 MPG US!




I passed the 1k milestone for the first time in the winter beater Metro!


That's 1021 km on the trip odometer (not merely 21), with 1/8 tank remaining! (I chickened out last tank and filled at 987 km, but the needle was on "E" last time.)


This will be a record tank -- should be 70+ MPG. According to the ScanGauge, it's sitting at 71.8. I'll likely fill up next week.
