Recently started to adjust my driving technique, trying to save some fuel. Found this website, and now started to slightle mod my car.

I drive a citroën Berlingo (it's a small van), with a 1.9 diesel engine. Unfortunately, it has the aerodynamics of a brick...
I used to get 30MPG with my car. With the use of hypermiling driving techniques I managed to get 44,5MPG.
Now I made some changes last week (partial grill block, antenna removal, inflatred tires to max, strip some weight of) and I ordered a scangauge, trying to get that MPG higher.
I'm also planning to install a belly pan, remove the right mirror and making skirts.
