Hi Phoebus,
It would be quite interesting to know if a -95 @ would consume less if used
with a -97 CDI unit. Would that be easy to test?
I find it slightly irritating that my 240 kg, 61 hp RD04 @ has the same
consumption as my 12 year old 1100 kg, 90 hp Audi that also has a lot more
frontal area than the @.
