    So the eco focus now does 34mpg instead of 30?

    Care to explain why my car uses less fuel in a lower gear?

    Why can i get excellent fuel economy at an indicated 80mph? Improvement over 60mph in the same gear.

    Seems like you have a lot more to learn.

    Curious... Is this 4mpg saving on a single journey or an average over 10000 miles?

    It is difficult to drive like that because people over take you to fill the gap you have left and you end up having to break to stop at the lights.

    keep doing that through the gears and it is 'engine braking' saves wear and tear on your brakes!
    Brake pads are a lot cheaper than clutches and gearboxes.

    You know what you could try? Lift you foot off the accelorator, as the engine starts to slow change gear, keep doing that through the gears and it is 'engine braking' saves wear and tear on your brakes!

    There seem to be an awful lot of people in this thread who have completely missed the obvious irony in your post.

    Just be gentle on the gas and brake pedals to improve gas mileage.

    I've found that it improves with natural compared to the old town gas.

    Home brewed gas is far superior, you need to live on a diet of baked beans and sprouts though to get the best blend.
