I'm on Ben's case to look after that for you.

Unfortunately, he seems AWOL recently... so our habit of being slow to deliver may continue!

I saw one that said a chip would add 60hp to a Metro. I also saw the Econoaid. An aluminum piece that is supposed to spin the air by being mounted between the intake manifold and throttle body.

It won't be the 'puter as it gets wiped regularly - I'm a dev and I break it a lot trying things out. If its the IP address then thats also changed recently when we switched ISPs - its a mystery. Its now showing me ads for unclaimed Olympics tickets and weight loss but I did book a badminton court earlier

You're correct ... if your only goal in saving fuel is to save money.

But not everyone has that singular motivation.

Factually no, but maybe you are not understanding the purpose of the forum.

And so spiritually yes you are.

Have you considered removing the internet from your home ?
