Trying to drive differently...

It's done. We have got our new car : a Renault Scenic 1.9 DCI 130 CV, since a few weeks. That is a big change after the previous Renault Clio second generation, where there was really nothing included.

The most basic thing that I and my familly enjoyed right away is the air conditionning. This is a relief. At last, we are not suffocating in the car!

There are additionnal tools like rearview cameras that ease to park the car, which is ultra cool. Actually, what is really keeping my attention right now is the fuel live-tracking.

Usually, it should be 6L/100 when driving in the city. And guess what ? I started at 8.6L/100. What? Yes, my driving is way too aggressive. Thus, this is my new video game. I constantly watching the tracking to improve my driving, reduce fuel consumption and earn more distance for free (or it seems). At the moment: 7.4L/100. Not bad, but can do better.

We'll see during the Portugal vacations (and the 20 hours of car!!!), how it goes on the highways.
