Another AYGO

Ecomodder.com has already been very helpful in my aim for 3,5l/100km so thanks all for a great community.
My car is a 2007 Toyota Aygo -- IGOR -- which just got quick and dirty wheel covers; a roll of self adhesive plastic did the trick and I'm in the process of calibrating my new UltraGauge.
My biggest still unanswered question is how to accelerate but I guess the UltraGauge will be helpful. Soon I will lower the car 30 mm and planning on grill block. LED:s in the trunk waiting.

Welcome aboard.

What tricks and techniques are you using to get that kind of mileage ?
You're putting a good many diesels drivers to shame including me

I aim for 3,5l/100km but I'm not there yet. The last fillings have resulted in about 3,8. The 8% should be possible I guess starting with grill block followed by wheel skirts.
I'll start a thread about the ongoing IGOR-project but in short it's mostly about driving style I guess: It takes forever to get to and from work.

Another Aygo - woo hoo! And doing some superb MPGs too. Like the wheel covers. What LEDs are you going to use, are these for DRLs ?

Are you planning to block the whole grill or just the bottom ? I've blocked the nostrils (upper grill, either side of the big T) on mine. Hard to tell if there is any difference yet due to the non-stop gales we've been having.



Going to block the bottom when it gets colder, and then maybe look at the underside in spring - too cold just now

I changed the parking lights to these: [OOps, not allowed to post links. 28 LED:s in a "bulb" W ww.ebay.com/itm/170704812150?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1439.l2649] so I won't have to use the H4:s during daylight. Also LED:s in rear/brake.

Im planning to block just the bottom; I believe in cold air intake.

I'll try to start a thread with my mods in a couple of days... The language is going to be a bit of a problem but I'll try my best.

The EPA is really high to begin with. 15% over EPA is not impressive compared to a lot of users here.
