that said, Its still only a difference of £8 per month for me (1250 miles at 39.6 imp mpg (assuming low of £1.299/litre and high of £1.359 high) so its not huge
Do you know what your "before" (hypermiling / mods) MPG was so you can work out the difference ? Traffic is the killer for me, so I would assume someone who is "mainlining" on the M8 would have more of an issue than I.

You know what you need to do, make a video

I'm going to experiment with a different route. My normal route is (looking and Embra on a map) from roughly the 7'oclock position to the 11o'clock position going clockwise, crossing the main route towards Glasgow (M8) and the Forth bridge. Instead I'm going to try the other way - anti-clockwise which does mean going through the north of the city, but may suit George better as its lower speeds.

BTW, how is the "team" doing ?
