Rolling resistance, as mentioned before, may impact as well (rolling resistance = compare pushing a smooth piece of paper over a piece of wood vs. sand-paper over wood). More power needed = more fuel. If I may ask, what's the obsession with mpg ? 47mpg is roughly 13p a mile, 52 about 11.8p a mile @1.36 a liter With 10k a year thats about £8 - 10 a month difference Last edited by VMax1000; 28th September 2013 at 22:20.. |

Been driving 45 years, and just discovered that its more enjoyable, less stressful. not having to rush around in the car, at the same time watching my mpg rise....Why waste £10 a month, when its more enjoyable to drive sensibly......Long gone are my Escort Mexico(with 2 twin Webers) days.
