New to Forum, and inspired such a community existed
Hi all,
In a bid to find an accurate trip to evaluate fuel efficiency data, I stumbled across your site and it's forum. Therefore I have been viewing your achieves and threads for about a month now and have been inspired by some of the dedicated work I have seen - very nice gentlemen indeed. Although some may be, how can I say politely 'wishful thinking' a lot is innovative, detailed and coherently well documented improvements in economy.
My story is simple in that I commute daily (90 miles round trip) to a large technical college in the UK where I lecturer aerospace engineering and computer aided engineering (CAE) to all levels. The recent hike over the past six months in fuel costs has made me re-evaluate my current driving arrangements, so much so that a new car has been sort and acquired. This recent purchase of a Peugeot "Pug" 206 HDI GTI [2004 27k] has inspired me to seek the from the little auto as much as humanly possible in terms of minimising commuting costs. The idea of 'Aero-modding' ( great name btw) is an obvious favourite, also the need for other electro/mechanical refinements to reduce electrical demands on the power plant is also of consideration.
Even though my goals are personal, I intend to share and expand my R&D to hopefully be useful to other members here, and not just constrained to my pug's profile. Time permitting.
Therefore I look forward to like minded discussions and sharing the fruits of our labours.
Kind regards
SubSonic
