i've managed to get my average MPG up to 47.2 according to the onboard computer, but the only problem is i'm a pretty aggressive driver and suffer from road rage, so a lot of it has been 'behaviour modification' in terms of learning to just relax a little! has made a huge difference to my fuel economy though!

also, do 'injector cleaners' or fuel additives actually work?

many thanks

I visited england in the 90s, I see birmingham as the town... given it is a tiny place, I am sure i passed through..
I won't mention high rated tires or oversized wheels for your pursuit. the brake advice is really good.
does engine temps climb fast? there is also tips for heat rising faster than oem..
