i would make a witty remark about hitting plateaus and rutting season..but i wont
As it is, i'm still hovering right over 40mpg now myself-and i can feel the frustration creeping in.
I've identified 6 things i'm going to do about it.
1. Increase my tyre pressures to 40- at 36 just now
2. Warm air intake
3. grill block
4. Reduce p&g speed range from 65 to 60-50
5. Keep a log of the 'free miles' and money saved by hypermiling
6. Book a trackday.. Gotta have fun sometime!
so far 5 and 6 are underway, with 4 due to start on the next tank
5 is proving very fruitful, over 2000 miles i've saved almost a tank of fuel (£65) this equates to a full service and a visit to the cinema for me and the dame.
Over the 6000 mile service interval i reckon i'll be £200 up, which translates to 1x service plus 30.37UK gallons-about 1200miles!
Stick at it fella
my car will pay its purchase cost off in saved petrol within a year!
