Anybody looked up "Hypermiling". Prob spelt wrong but you get the idea.

Was/is huge over the pond.

Some weird techniques. And some solid advice if you are into max mpg or running low with no station in sight.

Well it's on 5 miles at moment and i'm calling in at the nearest Shell garage on my way to work tomoz morn which is 10 miles away.....fingers crossed!

Me too - I'm down to 5 miles and have to drive 10 miles before getting to a petrol station after work tonight... I do it quite often though - I think there's about 25 miles of careful driving left in the tank when it says zero...

Here's the result:
Set off on 5 miles. travelled 4 miles then the indicator went to zero. Drove like a granny - short shift, free wheeling and got to the petrol station a further 6 miles away.

Btw, i normally get this time of year around 32-35 mpg on my way to work. That morning i managed 42mpg!!

So how much fuel did you get in? How much was left?

I never fill up as you're carrying the weight around of a full tank lol.

Just put £25 in which didn't even get half way!

prob enough miles to go to the dealer to buy a new filter .

When they did the run on top gear. I remember them saying it more eccinomucal to let cars coast in gear. No fuel is used as momentum keeps the engine turning.

Don't know how true this is.

Put in 53 litres of fuel when I got to the petrol station last night! Phew! It's annoying though because my journey to work is only 10 miles so I set off yesterday on 30 miles left, drove very sensibly (boringly) and yet it still ended up on zero when I was going home... Stupid thing
