I filled my tank at 202.9 this week. Previous tank was 194.9. Luckily I ain't driving a whole lot so that helps. The tank of 94 octane in the EK for sure cost less than the 87 octane in the EF right now lol... sigh.
at least the weather is decent enough. perfect spring weather for some good ol driving! Compared to those euro clowns at 2.5 euro a litre, we have it pretty good
For sure, thankful to have my 1.6L motor. It isn't operating at peak efficiency but still better than the gas guzzlers out there. Kind of wish I still had the DX's 1.5L motor just for daily use. I think my record was about 6.3L/100km on that thing.

15 min cities are against my religion.
That's like visiting NYC and complaining America doesn't have enough parking spaces. Dude France is great for road trips, we rented an X1 for 2 weeks and drove around the French Riviera and Provence. Very scenic drives and their highways blow anything in N.America out of the water (though most of it is tolled). Quite affordable too if I may add. Already planning to do another trip in the North of France.
As of late Monday morning, the image no longer appeared on the president’s feed, and a prior link to the post now brings up a page that says the “content is no longer available.”
Later on Monday, Trump said he thought it was showing him as a doctor.
“I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor, and had to do with Red Cross,” he told reporters at the White House.
Trump said that “only the fake news” could come up with the idea that it depicted him as Jesus.
“I just heard about it, and I said, ‘How did they come up with that?’ It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. And I do make people better,” he said.

Wow, Cheeto is up to his old fast food bag of tricks again to distract American voters from the U.S. war against Iran, and higher gas prices.
He staged an event with a DoorDash delivery lady. Then he made comments to reporters "This doesn't look staged, does it?". Using food delivery of his lunch to distract American voters from his failed Operation Epic Fury.
Moments after President Donald Trump abruptly summoned reporters to the West Wing, he opened the door to greet a woman wearing a “DoorDash Grandma” T-shirt and bearing two big bags of McDonald’s food.
“This doesn’t look staged, does it?” Trump asked the assembled press pool, before spending about 15 minutes answering questions on the Iran war, including on failed negotiations over the weekend, the Strait of Hormuz and criticism from Pope Leo XIV.
The gathering was clearly meant to tout provisions in a GOP law that limited taxes on tips, which Trump and Republicans are hoping will bolster their midterm chances in November. But it mainly underscored the White House’s strained effort to juggle domestic politics while simultaneously waging war in Iran.
Trump is slated to make trips to Nevada and Arizona later this week to tout his tax policies, resuming domestic travel that advisers once viewed as key to energizing midterm voters — but that’s largely been put on hold since attacking Iran in late February.
Trump during the planned appearance briefly touted his policy eliminating taxes on tips, which the DoorDash Grandma — real name, Sharon Simmons — said “helped my family out immensely.”
