Well, that hasn't made any positive difference on economy.

Latest tank is 457.2 miles for 47.56 litres - 43 MPG (Imp) which is very much lower than the previous 3 tank average of over 52. I'm kind of disappointed as I have had some good trip computer averages, 67 on one trip to the other side of Scotland and back.

Its going to stay for now though as winter is here (snow forecast for later this week) for the quicker warm up, and I would also like to see the average once the gas people have stopped digging up the local roads around here - roughly 60% of my commute timewise at least at the moment is crawling in heavy traffic.

The lack of improvement means the good cover from SuperSkoda is not on the agenda. I also need to check if my tyres are still as pumped up as they were - the tyre thing was busy this morning when I filled up so I didn't get a chance.

Anyway, next mod - some weight reduction - planned for the weekend if I can get a chance...
