hi

ive only done three fill-ups so far but one of them was 51mpg and the next was 98mpg. this gives an average of 75mpg. 387 miles, 23 liters total.

i wasn't expecting this at all because it has been raining and i thought the second reading would be worse. the gas station was on a slope and i had foam comming out the tank as i filled. i think the averate reading is accurate. the next tank will tell.

i have done wing mirror delete, mud flaps del, aerial del, and inflated tires but i think the main reason is good technique and good base vehicle.

i will have to increase my target to 80mpg!

So you have a Pug 106 1.5D now? Awesome! I've been looking for a good deal on that car for the Wife for the last half year. I know it gets good milage, but I see you're taking it even further. Good for you

Just think of what aeromods could do...

i'm gonna make biodiesel next. that will make a big difference. but i need it tho as my commute is 82 miles a day !!! i wish i could live closer to work but my otherhalf works 40miles in the other direction. hopefully this will change in a year tho.

wow, very nice figures

Nomaly a 106 diesel wil do 47 mpg US. You did it only with some small mods?

Mod, you have to get the Pug into the garage, hopefully with some pics. Is it a I gen (square-ish) or II gen (Citroen Saxo-ish)? What's it got - power windows, power steering, power lock, electric mirrors, heated seats? From my searchs I know it's almost impossible to get a 106 1.5D without any of that. All I need is an airbag.

its a gen I with no power stearing, Ewindows, Elocks. now that the good weather has arrived my last tanks were 66mpg and 70mpg (imperial gallons). i have done a mirror + aerial delete and grill block. my 40mile drive lets the engine warm up and i have memorized the transition points for EOC.
