catch-22

As posted in another thread, I had to take my rx7 to Brisbane yesterday. Car weights ~1300kgs and the trailer ~550kgs. Had to drop the 7 off and bring back a midget on the same trailer. Average Diesel usage was 12.7 l / 100 but would have been better as I did not calc most of the return trip (long story).
I think this is a great result and here it how it was done -
- Clean all sensors with proper cleaner, allow to fully dry or blow with compressed air.
- Inflate tyres - fronts were set to 41 and rears to 46.
This was the only items changed from the terrible readings I was getting previously......so .5 L / 100 for towing 1.8+ ton. In any ones books, that's got to be good.
Ohh and to all that waved - If I was driving, you got one back or I initiated. Those that didn't get a return wave, and I especially mean the Landy that flashed AND frantically waved :D, my bro in law was driving and didn't understand the importance of the return Landy wave....
You would have know it was me - Bright purple car heading north, Red speedway car heading South
