Mirror Delete

Deleted passenger mirror today and subsequently got a new mpg best on a 14 mile out and back trip that I have driven approx 10 times in this car. I always glide on down slopes when I can on this route as the traffic is very light.

New best 69.11 mpg US / 83 mpg IMP / 3.4 lit/100km

Engine started from cold - 62 oF water temp

Previous best on this route was 64.95 mpg US / 78 mpg IMP

The car appeared to glide with less retardation in speed compared to normal.

Just need some white insulation tape now to replace the green!
