I topped the tank up three times and recorded each trip mileage. Each fill up figures tell me the car has given better fuel economy figures. One event which has convinced me I won't be having it taken out is when I popped an over take going up hill. It made me laugh. Pre Polestar the D5 manual was good, but it is now better. IMO, these figures can only get better as the car's engine continues to loosen up.

Yep the upgrade is grin inducing. My 12 yr old son loves it when I drop it into sport mode on the auto.
