After 300 miles, (from new) with a mixture of motorways and A roads, I'm getting 50.2. Running in "normal" mode
But I am taking it easy for a while. I know I don't need to run the engine in, but something inside me is restraining my right foot ! Give it another 200 miles, and then my inhibitions will disappear.

What's the best way to slow down when approaching traffic lights or a junction? I've been slowing down by dropping gears without using the brakes until I need to. The problem is sometimes the engine starts labouring and using more petrol while I'm crawling to a stop. Is it better to let the engine braking slow you down until you get below the rolling stop/start limit and then use brakes and clutch to engage the stop/start?

Just be careful if slowing down without using brake pedal , 1st the person behind is waiting for your lights to show and 2nd I was once a passenger in a car and driver was doing this not knowing a police car behindโ€ฆ.needless to say got pulled at next junction and brakes checked and a telling off for what it could have caused.

My daily commute of 20 miles total has gone up this week from 37.9mpg to 38.1mpg after i fitted a Mountune panel filter :) this is with driving in normal and keeping revs down - what's the point :(

So latest mpg, did 448 miles onboard computer saying I've attained 68.3 mpg, actual figure worked out at 63.66 mpg, slightly down from last month ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ™‚ may be the air con or the fact I brimmed it too much ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜โ›ฝ

Meant to add, around 300 on motorway rest around town, all normal mode ๐Ÿ‘
