My fuel log tells me :
  • Rear skirts are effective : my 2008-09-01 tank was done with cardboard rear wheel skirts and same techniques as previous one. I had to improve my skills and techniques during 2 months to achieve an equivalent mpg.
  • Traffic jams kill FE : my last 3 tanks has been done with more and more traffic jams.
  • NICE-On Coasting (coast in neutral engine on) is better than DFCO (Deceleration Fuel Cut Off, ie engine break) only, and the better the tires are pumped up the better the mpg.
  • In 4 months I avoided to feed 22 trees for 1 year (1l of diesel = 2.66kg of CO2 - 1 tree absorbs 10kg more CO2/year than what it generates), but I fed 61 trees
