Are you sure it's a 76L tank and not a 95L?

Yep I filled the boot up with products that would have cost a few hundred pounds to courier to us, so that made it a bargain trip.
It was a great trip. Hard to explain but it did have more of a sen ... |

In case anyone was wondering...

Just another quick update.
The system seems to be still learning and the consumption is improving. Last fill up was just under 14mpg, mostly shorter trips around town.
