Hello from France
 

Hello here,
i'm Cuda47 from France.
40 yers old and interested by this forum to have more information.

Actually, i have a Renault convertible with a 2.0 turbo engine. I'm colse to 30 mpg with a daily se (2 x 17 km with cold start).

Welcome to the site.

Welcome to Ecomodder! :)

Thanks!
For people who does not know the model, it is like this car:

I bought a Turbogauge to improve the fuel consumption, but, for me it does not match well...

These are very rare in Brazil, IIRC they were only imported in 2007.

Hello cuda47! Welcome to Ecomodder:)

I would start with (partially) blocking your radiator and/or grille.
Also, if have a place to plug in you may want to invest in an electric heater for your engine, then in insulating the engine bay.

Blocking the radiator grill improve the engine heating, i would say, the engine is warming quicker.
For aerodynamic impact, it is poor.

I'm looking for the next car, not easy because i love tis convertible... But i need a car more daily use (more inside place), like a wagon or un van....

Even though a convertible might look cool, the unsuitability of a roof rack to expand the cargo capacity on demand becomes a PITA sometimes. Well, if it wasn't for some restrictions to the traffic of Diesel-powered vehicles according to emissions certification, I guess a 1.5dCi Mégane II Grandtour would be a good replacement...

Yes, this car is on the list....

If i "take the way" of Diesel, the 1.6 Peugeot / Citroen should be ok, and the 1.5 Renault too.

Even though their basic designs might be pointed out as quite ancient by now, these are great engines.
