I also drive with a fairly light foot, and my area is not hilly.
Yet to test the injectors for leakback, so this may be an option. But I did try injector cleaner.

Hi Matt,I improved my mpg from 39 to 44 by having a full service,changing discs and pads all round(needed doing anyway) and renewing the maf sensor.I live in a rural area which is quite hilly and although I can`t get up to 60mph very often I am very pleased with 44mpg.Would love to take the car on a long run to see if I can improve on 44 but not possible at this time.In my opinion changing the stat won`t make any difference to mpg.
Regards
Barry
