Hi Mike - I'd strongly suggest going for fuel economy instrumentation as your first step (well second step, after browsing the links Tim posted).

Since you're driving the petrol engine, you could likely use a MPGuino in your car, and it would help you to refine your driving technique in real time, as well as evaluate the effect of mods you may do.

Welcome to EM!

cheers
Darin
