Based on your fuel log, I think I'll aim for 65 imperial MPG
to start with, then see if I can catch you up!
I'm sure 65 MPG Imp won't be any problem if you'll drive carefully. Tell me do you have fully mechanical FI pump or "fly by wire" like my TDS? If you have mechanical pump it will be tricky to install any FE monitoring device if you have FBW with potentiometer gas pedal you should be able to connect MPGuino without any issue, like I did in Berta. And that's amazing how much you can save if you have real time FE monitoring.
