Alas, that'll be reset to factory- the ride is a bit crashy, and the dampers are past their best..

Being so short and a hatchback means a Cd of 0.35, so its never going to be great. The light weight helps though, as does the variable valve tech- plenty low down grunt for a 16v- can pull 30mph in 5th

best bit has been adjusting the nut behind the wheel- just got a txt off the good lady, after she ran me to work and went home..it read "44.7"

that means that the tank average for current tank is circa 42mpg (the OBC is a touch optimistic)
