Just few days ago a refill was made. It's been over a month since the last one, so I almost forgot the procedure. More and more I see the methods descibed here really when it comes to lowering fuel expenses and carbon footprint. Still, the refill for almost 60 liters (~16 gal.) of diesel costed $100, which is huge in US terms, but still quite inexpensive compared to some other EU states.

Yesterday I've checked the aFCD when beginning a trip. My better half has been driving for a day, about 50 miles. The figures were niiiice, 3.9 liters/100 km which translates into 60 mpgUS! And that's in a car, rated 45 mpgUS.

The best thing is, I've sensed a small blush when she said: "Uh oh, I was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention, you know..."

So proud of her!

your driving habits are likely rubbing off on her.

My other half did much the same.
She used my car to go to do the work commute one day. My car is rated 36mpg US. when I looked at the trip reading when she got home she had gotten 45mpg, during rush hour.

She said all she did was try and time trafic so she would not have to stop.
