Thanks, impressed by your driving style results. When I began this project it was mostly about the gains of the aeromods. And I kind of stuck to that for now. So I'm driving with a distance from other vehicles and doing everything I can to keep the speed as consistent as possible. The previous and most accurate test I've done was at 95km/h (59mph), which is 5km/h (3mph) more than usual.
The mileage could definitely be improved quite easily:
Slimmer summer tires, using your mentioned driving methods, mirror delete, lower suspension, giving the engine a simple spark plug, filter, oil change etc.,
and I always drive with a passenger and full tank of fuel.
