Hi all,

I traveled the exact same 250 mile trip again albeit it with a full car and managed 39 MPG, which is marginally better than last time.

I was coasting in neutral (engine on) down every hill and kept a speed of ~55 MPH most of the way.

It seems like my 1.4 liter Volkswagen Polo, without aero mods, is maxing out at around 36-40 MPG. I was hoping it would do better

Cheers
