It is a 3.0/5spd. What is a night meter?

It's an auto correction of mpg apparently.

I did run the German through Google Translate...

I'm ordering the CO test kit as Andrewwyn recommended - hoping it stays blue... but I noticed for maybe a year that if you accelerate hard and keep the revs up for any period of time, there is a burning oil smell briefly afterward. I'm wondering about the head gasket, unless it's just the smell of gunk under the engine getting hot
Have you cleared the codes and see what returns? Have you troubleshooted the thermostat and the fan control? It doesn't show any misfires or low compression faults but the coolant related faults could have caused a blown head gasket if the engine was overheated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q_xL2P104Y

Gotcha. The slow, rural highways are the best for MPG. It is amazing what an average speed of 60mph will do compared to 70mph with frequent slowdowns. Traffic and high speeds are two things which will suck down gas, in any car. I have been logging all of my mileage in all my cars for fifteen years straight now, and the best tanks I've had in all my cars have been on rural highway trips. I bet the X can hit 25mpg in the right conditions. Not sure if I will be able to do it though, mostly due to the huge fuel tank. It is hard to drive so economically for that many miles.

I get the best mpg at about 70-73 level highway. The 3.0 seems to have maximum efficiency about 2500 rpm in my case. On the afformentioned trip, 2/3 of the trip is 70 speed limit but also with plentiful elevation changes.

Nice video!

I cleared the error codes and this was the result with key in position 2 without starting the engine;

The temp gauge does run cool for longer than I remember, so this would suggest the thermostat is stuck open, right? And the fan would be running all the time?

Watch the temp measurement and oil temp also. Feels like could be bad temp sensor

In most circumstances that would be true of the thermostat but I think the fan would be less likely to run unless it was receiving a false signal of engine temp. Does the water temp gauge read normal at operating temp. Also clear the memory. You will have to drive it until the oil reaches operating temp and do some hard acceleration, uphill if possible. Then check for what codes return.

Blowout is on a distinguished road
I changed out the thrust arms a couple months ago and the tire on the PF was worn on the outside from the bushing being cracked.

Just got new shoes on the front and had it aligned. Seems the camber on the rear is barely in spec. Not sure if new struts would be needed to get it more centered in spec or if there is an aftermarket kit available for further adjustment in the rear.
