Actually, with never cars with direct fuel injection, from what I've
experienced so far, it's better if you do go and try to win stoplight
races. :-) My better half tends to compete in most of them and the
outcome was quite surprising. When she drove like a granny on three
consecutive fuel tanks, the average fuel consumption was about 1.3l per
100km[1] more than when she drives normally (Ie, a bit more aggresively).
YMMV,
