Success!

991.4 km and...2.94L/100 km that's 79.9 MPG over 615 miles!!!

Average speed for the tank as per scangauge was 40 mph. Max speed was 81 mph coasting down a mountain.

Here's the car with the wheel covers on.

I used mostly DWL, but climbed the hills at best bsfc and coasted down with the engine on all the time.

I should really get rid of my winter tires...lol
