Fuel's Gold

A UK tv programme titled as per thread title has just been broadcast on ITV1's 'Tonight' series.

Shows the public how to save fuel and evaluates 6 different methods.... now that petrol (gasoline) is hitting £1.07 a litre ($8.70 a US Gallon). Diesel is even higher!!!

The highest gain was 30% due to servicing a car that had never been serviced!
Second was 27% decrease in fuel used by changing driving style.
All other tests were not conducted in any repeatable or measureable way, so were not really worth reporting on LOL. Still, at least it gets people thinking Eco

The UK is expecting over £5 a UK gallon ($9.45 US gallon) very soon

Should be available at a torrent soon
