no idea must be the girlfriend...haha..

I don't think if your battery dies your speedometer resets.. besides that would have a meant there would have been a lower milage than higher... Im still at like 400km a tank..

warmer weather perhaps. summer brings on better gas consumption.

Probably the warmer weather, you're not warming up your car as much. How about more hwy driving, or less stop and go driving. Less use of the heater in the car...

But definetly the 10 pounds you save make a big difference.

Kudos on the lighter girl. You'll also find that you'll save money on food. This I can say as per personal experience.

yeah... warmer weather for sure. plus you don't waste gas warming up the car. I hit about 550km when my gas light came on. i went to almost 600km before i filled up. and i only filled up about 49L, so there was more to go. try cleaning your air filter (if it's recleanable/reusable) and after washing all that crap from the winter off, you'll probably get better filtration and better mileage too.

I don't feel that bad getting 575 k's a tank now on 55L in the city. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

People always think I suck back more gas but apparently the P5 sucks back mor ethen I do.. and my car weighs in at 33?? lbs... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Any chance you just cleaned the car out, if not you should be at like 700 then
