I wish you more luck with that thread than I've had at my local Peugeot forum. Whenever someone starts a fuel consumption thread for my model/engine, the posts claim 7-12 l/100km. I come in with 4.5 l/100km.
Noone says anything like "Good going!", or "So what's your secret?". The comments I get are rude at best. Granny-driving and all that. Even though I stress that I
do not dirve 20 below the speed limit when not alone, and
do not take hours to accelerate when the light turns to green. I guess it's hurt pride that someone has an almost stock car and gets twice the milage.
