ha ha yes. I looked at a bunch of hybrids before i bought this, but the small capacity diesel is more effective solution for the type of driving i do.
long distance (near) constant speed lends itself more to this sort of car i think - a hybrid would only use the battery getting up to speed then have the penalty of carrying around the additional weight of battery and elec motor for the rest of the trip.
Eco driving tips, yep been reading a lot recently. I managed 91 mpg on my trip in to work this morning ~58 miles with some coasting down hills and (safe distance) slipstreaming some trucks.
