Jethro -

I have no doubt that you will get a 71mpg (3.3l/100km) tank once your weather gets better!

It is pretty cool to see the trip odo roll over 999.9mi to 1000mi... have only done it twice so far with Helga

I think I'll try to go for 1610km as soon as possible... Maybe I'll start my trip to Prague next week so I'll be able to cover most of the distance... So keep your fingers crossed ;-)

Just got back from Prague and I couldn't help myself to not check MPGuino at the pump and It shows that Guino works great!!!

3.67 L/100 km
64.06 mpg (US)
76.92 mpg (Imp)

1202km 44.15l

Berta is still #7 but I'm getting closer and closer to #6 and SilverSlug

Oh! Numbers from last part of the trip on MPGuino screen showed amazing (IMHO) 30.6km/l @ 195km (3.27l/100km 71.98 MPG US and 86.44 MPG Imp) - Best trip ever!

I'm just happy

Pity I couldn't resist and I've filled up Berta's tank... I want to join 1k miles club... Maybe next time

Sorry to say, I am now up to #5... well, maybe not so sorry... A 63+ mpg tank over 900+ miles helped. The next tank is looking really good as well... currently showing over 67mpg on the Scangauge.

Sh...y life! Now I have to climb again up the list. But be careful, I'm preparing my secret weapon! I will fight for Berta's place on top of the list

... And we all moved down again. I think someone(s) went over their 90 day limit and are now back.

Excellent job all around on the great tanks!

I'm taking a short trip to see NeilBlanchard's car and am going to make a short fill out of it to check how I'm doing on a mostly highway trip in WARM weather( it's supposed to be in the mid 60s F today).
