Real life consumption with Multitronics

Now, with new Multitronics VC731 getting trips data was never so easy. It saves last 21 trip and I can get all data in text file via USB. That's what I'm going to do once a month. No more pen and paper work.

All data is available in GDocs spreadsheet

Current avarages for last period:
Urban - 8.0 liters/100 km
Non-urban - 5.8 liters/100 km
Average - 7.4 liters/100 km
Driving notes:
- no air conditionning these days
- 1-2 people in a car

And here is official Skoda specs reminder

UPDATE (2012-02-09):
A word about gear suggestions as noted in comments. Last few days I checked how I drive according to shift recommendation for changing gears on dashboard display. It turns out that I shift gears almost as computer suggests me :-) At least upwards.

Amazing detailing results

Found these pictures at Clean Your Car gallery. Just amazing!
