I did it!

I didn't use the air conditioner today, drove below 100km/h and my fuel consumption came right down. Usually I can only manage 5.3-5.6l/100km.

I was beginning to feel left out.

Good job, you're getting close to a 3.9l/100km tank.

I think thats close to 60mpg??

Nice work!

I wish the rest of us had the option of a metric MFD.

I went on a diet recently and lost 6kg (12 pounds) maybe that helped...

I'm still running "normal" tire pressures so I'm gonna increase them and see how well I can do.
