Not sure what this means?

ONCE MORE with more accurate (more conservative) calibration of fuel use and distance: 70.2 MPG over 127 miles. Half with spoiler on, second half without it but with somewhat more aggressive hypermiling.

Wife and kid will be off in a couple of days and I will go to pick them up in a week. I will try to achieve 3.3 liters then.
Need some wheel covers and skirts for the rear. If i can do those i believe I will be set.
On one section of the trip i saw 3.9 l/100 km.
Also i might try to boost the battery, charge it constantly from a big battery that I have. As my caps got stolen at the customs it will have to do for now.
I will also cheat a bit. Refuel 50km in to the trip after the engine is warm and I am on the highway and then refuel 20km before so that I do not get in to city traffic.

teoman - you should add your car to the garage, so we can see what you're driving (it puts it under your username).
Your Garage: [ Add new vehicle ]
I probably knew what it was at one time, but my brain is turning to mush! |
