Thanks. I inherited the car, here in the UK they have always depreciated fast so now you can get an HDi for little over $2000, that gets 42 US mpg as standard. I think it has excellent potential for high mpg.

My car is a late model with 205 tyres, maybe I'll look at narrower wheels and tyres at some stage, I didn't know they could have such an effect on drag.
