C36 Updates 6

Filled up the tank yesterday the second time - $710 for 420km traveled. $1.7 per km was reasonable because it covered a variety of road testing and fast running. No doubt if I drive aggressively it would be more than $2 per km. I still believe I can do 450 km per full tank if I am more careful with the gas pedal.

Last night I removed the spare wheel and tire from the trunk to lighten the rear load. Boy, it was a heavy piece, at least 15kg. This makes me think twice about not changing to a ligter alloy wheels. Why I removed the spare wheel and tire? It was because I would like to make the car lighter and the rear more agile (more tail happy).
