Surprised: another 50+ tank

I was not expecting this... partly because I drove the first half of the tank with the flaky, annoying MPGuino switched off.


But my right foot must have learned a thing or two about this car from all the previous feedback, because the latest fill came in at 52.9 MPG = 4.4 L / 100 km.





And by running the tank nearly dry, I also learned I can probably do a kilotank (1000 km) if I want... a project for next summer.


That might be the MPGiata's last fill of 2019. Summer activities are tapering off. There are still some pleasant & colourful fall trips ahead with the top down and the heater on, but I don't plan to drive the car into November this year.
