Default Very low fuel consumption!

Was driving a long distance with my mint condition 240 d24 and i used under 0,4 liters/10 km!!! 50 pounds in the tires, very good d24 with 0-40 synthetic and almost no pressure on the throttle and od in all the time.

That's pretty cool. I'm not sure that your test was very accurate though. That is an incredibly short distance to conduct a test.

You should conduct the same test again, but over 300-500 km.
