My 500 is all back together with its extra sound deadening, probably weighs about 50kg more than before, I'll update that other thread soon.
I was surprised to get suddenly very good fuel economy - over 40km an indicated 5.3L/100km, which is 53mpg. Average speed 84km/h. I'd usually got more like 6.8L/100km) so I brimmed the tank to check it was correct
Now I've been driving around town, the average has gone up to 6.3L/100km but this is still good considering all the short trips (average speed 37km/h). I'm rather happy with the sudden personality change it's had. Just goes to show that whatever engine you have in your 500, you can get great economy at least some of the time
