Aero mods - I'll fit a partial grill block as temperatures fall (winter is coming). Anything else is out, it's my wife's car.

Weight reduction - yeah, it's a fat pig, but it's my wife's car.

Speed - This must be a factor why the FE is so much better than I thought it would be. Due to road works on the motorway (20 km of my 55 km commute), the speed limit is down from 110 kph to 80 kph in two sections. It must be helping.

What's your driving environment like? Must be fairly eco-friendly to be getting 35 already.

My commute is really good. 90% highway/motorway.
My start time has changed for the worse (heavy traffic) but it could still be a lot worse.
