An Update -

In regards to coasting distance, I freed up the brake callipers and it’s now coasting further, although it’ll probably never match the Mazda in that regard.
There may be FE benefits from the brake work, but there’s been other issues that have made any accurate measurement difficult.

For the last three fills the fuel nozzle has been cutting off multiple times during the fill, making consistent tank level impossible (even though all three returned similar MPG numbers).
I tried a different petrol station to confirm the problem was with my car, then blew out the fuel line from evaporative canister to the tank and changed the canister for a (used) spare, as advised by a Shouty Kilmer video.
I haven’t filled up again yet, time will tell.

I fitted a vacuum gauge (because I had it already) and have mounted the MPGuino but have yet to work out the best spot to access the vss and injector pulse.

RedCelica’s three tank average is currently 37.4mpg, but it looks like this latest tank will be fairly poor. I think the last fill was a bit short and the mornings are starting to get cold.

Pete.
