Thanks for your reply! It is imperial mpg that I was referring to.... i keep a log with Fuelly...will have to port it over. I have some modest plans for the car. I have had an interest in economy driving for a long time, but never joined a website. Looking at the projects on here rings a bell with what I have been thinking about for a long time. Reading about the Dutch dude that has faired in the 125 Honda scooter was pretty inspiring.

For my car I have already changed the wheels and tyres for something more in keeping with my economical aspirations, today I started experimenting with blocking some of the grills. I am most likely gojng to increase the tyre pressures further and take off the passenger mirror. I will make an undertray to cover the underside of the car, most likely from aluminium. The kammback spoiler idea is intriguing but I have to read a bit more about that before committing!
