Hello everyone,

This is more of a re-introduction as I have just bought a new car.

I've had it for around a month and a recent motorway trip of 110 miles (at 70mph cruising speed on the GPS) resulted in 53 mpg (US).

I'm happy with the FE compared to my last car, especially considering the non-eco driving and no ecomods have been done so far (the car is on winter tyres currently!).

Car spec:
2006 Renault Megane
1.5 litre common-rail turbo diesel, 4 cyl
106 hp/ 177 lb ft torque
6 speed manual gearbox- 2300rpm at 70mph (GPS)

I'm working on improving my driving techniques to suit the new car and any ecodriving or ecomod suggestions welcome!
