It's the same with Igor. I have been thinking a lot about it and how to solve the problem. Aeromodding hasn't helped enough I think. I'm sure the Aygo has been optimized for city traffic. Maybe bigger tyres would lower rpm enough. Continental has 135/70-15 that maybe could be better but everything else is wider than the original 155 and it won't be easy to find narrow 15 inch rims. For now I have to keep speed below 70km/h (=43mph) to get good figures.
