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 ?  |
M8 is actually not too bad-I P&g along with the flow of accellerating and braking idiots
Generally on the road by 7.15am for 45min run at 25 miles- as for a pre "hypermiling" difference I cant say, hypermiling and me moving to this job kind of happened at the same time.
however i'd reckon I'm probably up 9-12 mpg vs me driving "oldstyle"in the e30
I tend not to drive into work often now- My carshare colleague does that-so I can have extra brain shut off time..
Although, now I have an HTC I can log my journey and video if required
As for driving past Leith/granton/portobello in rush hour...no thanks!
Team is as follows
iS needs tyres and a service- still churning 38-40mpg
320i- SORN'd until pennies available to make it the car it should be!
535i- Last tank was a huge improvement, but no trackdays
M8 Mazda- Still trundling along, but I've not got a fuel log for it as she puts in £10 her, £30 there etc..
