I swapped an i motor in to my early eta.
2.79 diff does wonders; cruising on a flat road, 50mph at 1500 RPMs in 5th gear. Up shift at roughly 2k for eta like MPG's!
That said I still hate my diff :hitler:Bronzit 4-door Swap Drifting somewhere

Coming up the next hill at a higher rate of speed purely thanks to momentum without engine braking is enough for me to keep this tradition going though.

I always watched the econoguage on the cluster, and engine braking at 45 it's reading at 40, with clutch in it's pegged at the thick solid line. Because that's based off of injector pulses, I assumed it was because it was still pulsing. Learn something new every day though.

Moreso for higher speeds, but keeping your car clean with a fresh coat of wax will help a wee bit.

If I try real hard I can average about 32mpg.
Also to add to the list find routes that have more left turns then right. Or if you drive on the right side of the road you want routes that turn right more then left.
USP dose this and it saves them something in the order of 1 million gallons of fuel a year.sigpic
