Hi there,

Looks like "adjusting the nut" and some LRR tyres (with minor aero mods) have found me around 10mpg.

Fuel log is at:
1996 Volkwagen Golf MK3 GL Gas Mileage (VW GOLF) - EcoModder.com

That said, my most recent tanks have been better, but have included slightly more motorway driving, and lots of variables. I have also been using "normal" Dino-diesel from the pumps. I'm pretty sure B100 Bio D is worse for MPG.

Anyways... Fingers crossed for more gains with my new intercooler (from a supercharged Mini Cooper S) and undertray (still not fitted, been doing exams, see here: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...1-a-12816.html).
