Greetings,

I've been a bit of a hyper miler for a while but never took it too seriously. That's about to change though...

I drive a Peugeot 107. For our American cousins that's an ultra compact hatchback. It's a 790kg 3 door car, with a 1 litre inline 3 cylinder petrol engine that develops a Tarmac melting 68 BHP. The engine thrives on revs and is great fun to thrash about, but driven carefully I can get it North of 60 imperial MPG, though around 55 is more usual.

My aim - 70 MPG, which it think is a realistic goal with minimal effort.

I've already fitted a shallow rubber air dam from a Renault which had given another 2 MPG, so some grille blocks and a vacuum gauge are my next projects.

Pics when I'm next on a real computer.

Cheers,

Rich
