The alternative is the current manual transmission status quo: a rev-happy top gear that wastes fuel all through the flats so that we are never troubled -- heaven forbid! -- to move the shifter out of top gear once it's been put there!

Yep had the alternative on holiday. That (the one in the link) was a good car ruined IMHO.

Its something to get used to again, remember I am swapping back from an Auto to a manual.

On the wrong side of the road, no less. You're doing a great job over there.

I think that is worth at least a free 10% hypermiler rating.

Damn colonials.

I think I might like this car...

Incredible FE, Arragonis!

First use of (mild) hypermiling.

I intended this tank as a baseline but as you can see it will be a couple if weeks at least before the next fill, and I got bored

The tank won't match this unfortunately.

On the plus side my previous Audi would be at 35 at the same point, the Aygo would be at 55ish and our Prius was usually around 58. The Prius hated the motorway.

I think your improvements on the 'Scort standard stats are more impressive. It will be a slow process to get stats on Henning with each tank doing ~700 miles-ish
