Hi guys,

Did another fill today, 7.36mpg, a 0.04 drop on my last tank, this one was with a couple of longer trips than the last and carrying 300+kg of MDF for about 1/4 of the tank, i could barely notice the weight in the back as far as acceleration and handling goes but surely that much weight would have made some sort of difference.

I was also accelerating a bit harder than usual to keep up with peak hour traffic (i dont normally drive peak hour) for probably half of this tank which doesn't seem to have made much of a difference.

i really need to start getting the aero sorted as well as bring the gearing down asap, but a new gearbox or diff gears are out of my budget at the moment

thanks for looking
