yeah it would be easy to crack 60mpg if i sat at 57mph on the motorway, but tbh I don't like hindering the lorries! and it would add about 30mins to me working day. time I could have with my kids

I much prefer the real world measure of driving at 70-ish

+ that 60MPGuk also includes a sh*t load of 2 minute trips to pick the kids or runs for the weekly shop where it never gets off 'choke'. Trying to get the combined up to 60 will be a feat in itself!

My whole theory behind this is to have a car that anyone can drive normally and still save money, with out the need for more extreme aero/driving
