I love this list. :-)

I just put gas in my 16v (it's a 1.8 w/ 2nd oversize pistons to make it
~1.9l), and calculated fuel economy.  I've been able to track it for 680 miles/
1094km, and have gotten 25.7 mi/gal / 9.15l/100km

I wasn't sure what a stock 1.8 16v got, and here it was, so I'm not doing too 
bad.  My engine has about 1500 miles/2400km since rebuild.  I wonder if it will 
go up as I put more miles on it?
