So I beat best tank mpg and best tank distance twice in a raw

With the last tank :
. | mi. | US g. | mpg | % over EPA |
Tank1 | 728.3 | 13.77 | 52.88 | 50.64 |
Tank2 | 760.8 | 14.17 | 53.69 | 52.95 |
Tank3 | 803.0 | 14.59 | 55.02 | 56.74 |
Total | 2292.2 | 42.54 | 53.88 | 53.48 |
Average | 764.1 | 14.18 |
So I beat best tank mpg and best tank distance three times in a raw
but I won't take the risk again to drive 100 km once the idiot light switched on, even if the tank theoretically contains 15.85 g.

I realized lately that my cost per 100km is lower than the one of a Prius II at EPA rating : 4.43 €/100km vs 4.89 €/100km ie -9% (here gasoline is 12.5% more expensive than diesel) but I generated 116.5 g/km of CO2 ie +12%.
|
Last tank: 4.19 €/100km and 113.7 g/km.
About the Prius III, it has been announced at 89 g/km
but I have to improve myself by 22% to achieve such a CO2 emission

To be noted: previous best tank was in summer with front grill block and rear wheel skirts. These two tanks has been done without any aerodynamic help

I installed my coroplast rear wheel skirts. My butt-o-meter says it does improves things
but this may be that I want it so much that I'm affected by the placebo effect
Hope they will at least permit me to achieve the Prius II's CO2 emissions (104 g/km).
