Yesterday I had to go to Mainz so I was able to see how the bio-ethanol car performed long-distance on the motorway – to be precise along the A66, which has speed limits on most of it of 120 or 100 km/h.
Anyway, there’s nothing much to report about the car’s performance, except the fuel consumption which, according to the on-board computer, hovered between 8 an 9 litres per 100km.
At the moment I am waiting to see how far I get on one tank of bio-ethanol. Taking the km driven so far and adding on the expected km that the computer says I have remaining, it’s going to be about 500km in total, which is certainly less than I managed in a similar car using normal petrol. I’ll know more in a few days…
