Hi,

I drive a 2006 model 1.4 litre (83HP/16V) Volkswagen Polo. Currently I get around 38 US MPG (6.2l per 100 km) on the open highway when following the hypermiling tips listed on EcoModder.

Realistically, what can I increase this figure to, without modifying the car in any way?

The car's economy figures from the handbook are as follows:

Urban cycle 25.5 MPG US (9.2l per 100 km)
Extra-urban cycle 44.4 MPG US (5.3l per 100 km)
Combined cycle 34 MPG US (6.9l per 100 km)

The car's kerb weight (with driver) is 2326 lbs (1055 kg).

Cheers & thanks
