i don't have a scangauge or anything, but when i had my rooflights i never was able to reach 700 km with one 65-70 liter tank. wich meanth i was doing 9.2 to 10 l/100 km.

after removing the rooflights i was able to reach 800 km per tank (theoretically, as i had to refill each time before the tank was nearly empty) but the amount left given by the gauge told me i could have reached 800 km.
wich meanth between 8.12 and 8.75 l/100 .

now i have only done about 150 km since i have the cap on, but by the eye i can see a difference on the gauge. as it is split in 4 quarters i always do 200km per line. and now even though only 150 of the 200 km of the third quarter was done with the cap on, i did 220 km before reaching the line. wich can give a vague estimation that now i could be around 7 to 7.5 l/100km! that would be great! lets hope reality is not to far away from that!

btw the EPA for that vehicle is 10.7 l/100 km, so i would be 33% under

ps, most of the miles i do are of the worst kind, several times a day i drive between our two farms, wich are separated by only 2 km, so the engine never gets hot. and when i take the highway (wich is at 500 m of where i live) to go get my GF, it goes up verry steeply for about 2 km, and the engine temp needle usually only starts moving up once im 2/3 rd up the hill.
and to make it worse, my dad drives it aswell and he aint no hypermiler at all
