It is certainly a possibility.

Just as an update, not any real progress since my last post - though I am due to get another fill up in the next few days - I will be sure to post when I do. I still need to clean the EGR valve and think I might end up fitting a small front air dam too.

I swapped out the OEM radio today for a Pioneer DEH-X8700DAB... not really on topic 'eco' wise but having access to digital radio, and bluetooth audio should make me more content behind the wheel (and therefore happier at a slower cruising pace)... so you never know!

One thing that I guess could be on topic, is the internal mounted DAB antenna I got - no aerodynamic burden (though the OEM FM antenna is still in place) - though it will be interesting to see how well it performs as it was only £10 and online reviews say that more traditional roof mounted styles give much stronger signal.

reception seemed fine on the driveway, time will tell on the move.
