when i first joined here, my girlfriend was very skeptical..

A couple of months later, and she's genuinely interested in the capabilities of her car as an eco daily.
She currently commutes 250miles a week (although that will drop shortly)

I've been giving her some basic hypermiling tips, and put the tyres up to 34psi

Last tank (the first we logged) it's pulled 516.3 miles from 9.66 gallons uk.

That gives it 53.45 uk mpg-plenty above the published figures of 44!

watch this space for developments-as always, all suggestions are most welcome:-)
