Distance based on what I remember from last time I looked at gauge. 120km towing trailer, 80km with flatish winter tyres, now on better winter tyres. Plenty of little jobs to do to this car to improve the running! Edit: just updated kilometerage as shown by google maps, at 317km total seems pretty correct to me."
2012-11-26	189.77	4.32		43.93	"Managed another 4 litres from first click until it gurgled up the pipe, not sure how well the tank fills but I'm sure it'll all average out. No towing this tank, mostly 50 mph, apart from this morning into work at 60. Tyres could do with a pump as the temps have dropped recently. Air filter needs changing too."
2012-12-03	214.87	5.28		40.7	"Blasted winter. Cold engine, winter tyres, winter diesel, etc. Usual mix of daily commute and trip to country house. Upper grill block on this tank."
2012-12-04	74.88	1.63		45.94	"This time motorway only, 100-110 kph, to see how it does on the open road. Suspect pump timing."
2012-12-10	230.84	5.37		42.99	"The usual mix of town and country, temps around an average of -8C or so for most of this tank."
2012-12-13	149.32	3.28		45.52	"Absolutely shocking weather. Quite a lot of snow on the roads, blizzards, etc. Let the tyres down from 3bar to 2.5bar just to get back a bit of grip as it was getting hairy out there. Trying to p&g as much as I dare on this fill."
2012-12-30	339.95	7.17		47.41	"During this tank: changed air filter (old one totally filthed), EGR vac lines replaced, MAP line to ECU replaced, brake slider pins cleaned. Mileage mostly motorway at around 100kph or less, but with a fair few cold short trips to the shops over xmas. Weather mostly between -20C to around freezing, snow everywhere naturally."
2013-01-04	171.13	3.56		48.07	"Usual commute between home and work, bonnet insulation fitted which helps block heater to reach higher start-up temperature."
2013-01-28	453.1	10.59		42.79	"Girlfriend driving on this tank. Fitted a full grill block right at the end which has brought engine temps up to the correct part of the gauge. Rear seats and a few other bits removed to save weight."
2013-02-22	414.95	9.31		44.57	"Full grill block for part of this tank, until a coolant leak. Thermostat was opening too soon however, and a new one (82C opening) fitted right at the end of the tank. Full grill block to be reinstated when warning lights have been fitted and coolant leak fixed."
2013-03-02	184.73	4.05		45.61	"Shorter journeys and more cold starts on this tank, but with the thermostat replaced and warming up more quickly, to a higher operating temperature."
2013-03-05	154.85	3.41		45.41	"Commuting journeys, water leak fixed, at normal operating temp and lower grill block only. 80-100kph."
2013-03-13	415.57	8.83		47.06	"Some towing on this tank so surprisingly good I thought. Refilled with a new type of diesel so will see how that works out for the next tank. Cold weather, snow etc.. P&G wherever possible or practical."
2013-03-16	132.97	2.84		46.82	"Neste Pro Diesel, winter blend. Reinstated the upper grill block just before the refill as it's really cold in the mornings at the moment. Around town driving plus one trip out to the house."
2013-03-20	226.37	4.25		53.26	"Effing unreal! Was hoping from an improvement from the Neste Pro diesel but not this much. Daily commute between home and work, P&G wherever possible. Avoiding motorway most mornings, almost all on small road so plenty of opportunity for that. Also upper grill block reinstalled for faster warm-up."
2013-03-28	255.2	5.01		50.94	"Busier roads, less P&G, but warmer too. Rad fan warning lights installed now, so should be able to drive a little hotter without fear of blowing the motor."
2013-04-25	1366.95	25.85		52.88	"Lots of small refills while waiting to get paid. Summer tyres fitted about 500km ago, and speedo under-reads about 5% with these smaller (although lighter - 13.8kg vs 17.1kg) wheels."
2013-05-02	341.75	5.41		63.17	"Back on the winter tyres due to a near-blow-out on the summers. Can't afford new tyres so pulled the studs out and will have to do. Frosty mornings but +10 to +15 C afternoons. Unexpectedly high mileage. Could be due to summer diesel. Filled as usual to five clicks, but have been switching off at traffic lights and P&Ging a lot this last little while due to extremely tight budget."
2013-05-07	265.14	4.49		59.05	"On the winter tyres still, so not bad mpg. Unable to P&G much as the small road is a lot busier due to some roadworks on the big road. Morning around 0-5C, afternoon about 15C. Block heater for an hour every trip, lower grill block opened up a bit to allow better cooling."
2013-05-14	314.17	5.05		62.21	"Generally warmer. 5-10C mornings (no block heater), 15-20C afternoons. No higher than 80kph, P&G where possible. Still winter tyres. Stopping off to collect a bootload of manure for the veg patch on the way home."

2013-06-10	464.04	7.21		64.36	"Driving the big road a little more so usually around 90kph. Nice and warm weather, and no block heater used on this tank. Still on winter tyres, upper grill block only."

2013-07-31	596.02	9.81		60.76	"Just filled with neste pro diesel at €1.539 per litre. Previous tank Shell diesel at €1.509. Some p&g, some faster driving. Calibrating scangauge, which read 70.2l consumed, so corrected it, but still not quite right yet."
2013-08-09	509.15	8.13		62.63	"Scangauge needed 40% taking off it's estimate. €1.499 for Neste prodiesel. Lots of P&G on this tank. Outside temps around 25C mostly. Commuting to work again."
2013-08-17	353.87	5.65		62.63	"€1.459 per litre, ordinary Neste diesel this fill. Scangauge said 24l, so re-calibrated to -55%, it may now be reading a little optimistically. Misty mornings and lower intake temps, will soon be able to re-install the full grill block. Have been P&Ging as much as possible. Have just noticed these last two fills very consistent FE, both on Neste Pro, so will be interesting to see what this tank of Neste ordinary gives."
2013-08-27	531.02	10.04		52.89	"1.474€ per litre. Refilled with Neste Pro. Refilled right up the pipe to get a better baseline on future tanks, I will do the same for a more consistent fill. Cold air intake added at the end of this tank, and MAF sensor cleaned at the same time. Also aircon system removed, some ducting for the rad to come next before the lower grill block goes back on for the winter. Morning temps down to around 3-5C but evenings still about 20C."
2013-09-01	347.97	6.07		57.33	"33.20€, refilled right up the pipe with Neste Pro @ 1.444€/l. Scangauge over-estimated at 26.51l consumed, so adjusted back down. This tank on cold air intake, with clean MAF sensor. 220km of this tank fully loaded at 100kph, and some urban driving has affected this a bit."
2013-09-06	352.01	5.63		62.52	"Refilled with Neste ordinary this time at 1.474€ (Neste Pro was 1.519€ so too much more expensive). Driving with load on this tank, trying to keep the inst mpg below 3l/100km on the Scangauge. Was showing about 3.3l/100km for the trip every day, was also under-reading by a few percent so corrected it up. Engine pre-heater back on this tank, so CLT at around 30C at morning start-up."
2013-09-13	366.98	5.92		61.99	"Filled with Neste Pro @ 1.464€. SG2 said 600km so corrected speedo down by1%. SG2 said 25.7l so corrected down also, should be reading spot-on now. Engine heater in use mornings. Driving with load trying to get down towards 3.5LHK."
2013-10-01	841.52	14.38		58.52	"Filled with Neste ordinary @ 1.444€/l. SG pretty much spot on at 1360km. SG a little off at 3.7l/100km, but I filled at a different station this time so may have put more in the tank than last time. It'll even out. Colder weather on this tank, same driving. Some towing. Upper grill block, CAI."

Colder temperatures mean the inexorable decline of FE, at least the car will be getting new Nokian R2 LRR winter tyres so may make a difference. Full grill block to be re-instated, along with some insulation for the motor at the weekend."
2013-10-24	149.63	3.02		49.55	"Refilled with Neste ordinary at 1.479€/l Short tank, wanted to get a fresh tank to check out the FE with new Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 tyres fitted all round, 175 65 R14. Now running at 3 bar but may drop the pressure a bit as it feels a little hard."
2013-10-31	416.26	6.77		61.49	"Refilled with Neste ordinary @ 1.449€/l. Looks like a little bit of filling error from the last short tank. First fill after fitting Nokian LRR winter tyres. Steady state driving at mostly 80kph, ave speed 57kph according to SG2. Not bothered with engine preheater most mornings due to warm weather (0-12C)."
