Soon I'm starting a round trip through Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania and I can't wait to see the results... Maybe I'll jump up a place or two  I should gather a data from 2-3 fullups so keep your fingers crossed

I'm in Budapest, for now Berta is #9 on the list. Lets see how it will turn out with the next fillup. For now I have driven for ~500km so it will take a while. MPGuino is showing ~25,9km/l (60.92 MPG US) for now.

Budapest rocks- such a pretty city!

take it easy, and congrats on number 9!

had fun in Sofia too- Map with english street names, even though they use another alphabet- had to pay a taxi driver, and follow him to our hotel
there's a really cool 15th century church in a subway station, not far from the Cathederal- well worth a visit.
Also, its Sofia's height and rain made it like a warm Scotland 
although I imagine it'll be fairly chilly there just now

I was in Sofia many times and I've seen many interesting historical or not places. And the surroundings are just beautiful. I love mountains,...
But it's a way off toopic

If you are after me so I needed to run a bit further:
3.85 L/100 km
61.1 mpg (US)
73.34 mpg (Imp)
on a distance of :1237 km 768.64 miles
So theoretical range would be ~1560km it almost a 1k tank! (US miles)
Woooho!
