Ahh, but I have!
Tyres are at 40 psi, LRR tyres fitted, and I do a bit at getting good driving technique.
That's probably the 8%.

A Scangauge won't work in my car (No OBDII), but I spent my Christmas break busting out the Consult II protocol used in the car, and will be finishing integrating that into the OBDuino soon (it's probably more important now that I want to test different options).

I'm researching and looking into mods - is all, bouncing ideas around.
