Remember that half-baked chicken? Here are some more examples from the same menu, seen on Lanzarote:
Day 4: cruise control and parking
October 18, 2007 By Leave a Comment
Today I had the chance to try out the cruise control on the bio-ethanol Ford Focus. This maybe has less to do with the fuel in the tank, but it is still something that I have always been very wary of.
In fact, I associate it with the signs on the Brussels ring road where it is not allowed!
Anyway, all went fine – although I’m still worried that I have less control over the car whilst using it, even if that’s not really the case.
My route this morning took me over the motorway and the Bad Homburg ring road, and my fuel consumption stayed pretty much the same.
This evening I was in Bad Homburg and parked at the Kurhaus. I was curious as to whether I would smell the ethanol when I stopped the car in the underground car park, but I didn’t notice anything.
I’ve like to try out the petrol station, but there are still around 400km left to do first!
