Good sign or bad omen?
On my way to work this morning:
Some might say it's a bad omen, but I'm taking it as a good sign

I'm jealous 
My display shows l/100 km, with one digit behind the point.
Never been anywhere close to 66.6 l/100 km, thank God!

I know you've been getting awesome mileage lately, but was it really worth your eternal soul?

Well, if I got mpg that low (except when just going up the mountain), I'd worry :-)
