    Air Conditioner on during one trip, off for the other?

    Our long-term fuel consumption of Polo PD TDI seems to just be up and down anyway. 3 years of zig-zag consumption figures presumably due to tank filling inaccuracies despite my best efforts to be consistent.

    Headwinds! Yep. Against it on the way to work and with it on the way home. I've just clocked 20,000km in about 5 months and still loving it.

    At least once a day you have to use your right foot bit more and rev the engine well pass 3,000rpm. It's best done when driven up the steep hill. Otherwise, you're killng the turbo and it will eventually fail and will need to be replaced or cleaned (very expensive).
