as you can see by the video I posted its too dangerous here to EOC. we need our power steering and brakes at a moments notice. Traffic rules here are more like guidelines. and enforcement of them is pretty poor. I do however switch off engine at prolonged traffic lights.

when the wife drives the Tucson it sits at around 11.5L / 100km. she has a short 4km drive to work and back and is always running late. also she doesn't know much about hypermiling. this week ive been using the Tucson. its about a 40km round trip daily and the FE is at 7.8L / 100km. its due for a major service so I assume it will drop after that.

my fiesta is suffering however its also struggling with poor economy. I think a faulty o2 sensor is to blame. http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ors-32048.html

vacuum gauges are purchased and following lots of youtube vids seem pretty straight forward to install. actually planning to install them this weekend if 1 year old son allows.
