Piwoslaw, I have basically two questions but I don't know where to post them. I could send a PM, but i think that Your answer would interest also other fellow readers:

Can you estimate, how much is you fuel consumption affected by your driving style and how much by the mods you have made? What consumption Svietlana has when your wife drives it? (I assume she doesn't do much coasting, pulse and glide etc.)

Can you summarize for us your driving habits? AFAIK, You live in similar conditions as I do. From my experience, driving in the U.S. really differs from driving in central Europe.
I have similar-sized car, but your mileage is really impressive. I tried few "hypermiling tricks", but, err..., other drivers here think it's quite unpolite, and they let you know what they think. So now I unwillingly try to "behave myself" and drive 70 in the town, speed to next light and so on..

How is it to hypermile in Central Europe?
