But if you're gonna keep the beast, if you can squeeze another 5 mpg out of it, you'll increase your mpg 33%! And don't give up on mods, because the biggest mod of all (changing your driving habits) doesn't cost a dime!

Welcome, and good luck!

I do like me a good Rover, but saving enough for the power bill is awesome!

I agree, I need to try and get a bit more out of her... If nothing else see if I can tweak my habits.

Thanks!
