improvements driving a Hyundai I30

I've been working long term in australia, and my rental car is an I30 (elantra for you yankees)
normally i drive quite agressivly, as my car at home has been souped up for racing, but here, since Im just commuting I've been driving easy.

when i picked up the car the avg mpg guage from previous drivers read 8.5 L/100km (27mpg)
some gentle driving had me averaging 7.1 L/100km (33mpg)
now, after I've adopted some new techniques (neutral coasting, trying to accel at min BSFC) I've dropped it further to 6.6 l/100k (35mpg)

heres the templat of the I30. its pretty good at 25% of template
