Your short trip mpg will thank you long before you get where you're going.
As you are an experience Hypermiler, driving the same make and model as myself, I will certainly give that a try. My Jazz is the base model, difference is it has the 1.2 litre i-DSi engine. But being naturally aspirated I will certainly try that.
