That is a sweet looking Lupo. I really like the lines of the roof chop. I read the thread but I don't remember if you posted what your steady state mpg is. Will you please post for the record your steady state mpg, with no pulse and glide or engine-off-coasting (EOC) at 100 kph (62 mph). Your mods are an inspiration. I don't know if I will be so bold with my Golf but I hope to incorporate some of your ideas. Thank you for showing the way.
