Started using shell fuel, seems to be making some difference, although my driving style still hasn't relaxed, so it's hard to tell atm. 
Most of this tank was taken up with commuting and a trip up to Jonny's, which involved about 4 hours of being sat in solid, unmoving bank-holiday traffic and 8 hours of being mercilessly thrashed by an angry man frustrated with traffic, so was expecting less. Regardless, the last £80 (@141.9ppl) did exactly 700 miles, which works out as 56.37mpg.
Nothing else is happening to this atm, at least until the 205 is sorted and on the road. Jonny helped me install my wind deflectors when i went up last weekend and i hoovered it on Monday, but that's it. Then it'll be lots of tidying and small, boring mods that i've been meaning to do for a while - decent brake pads and fluid, replace the balljoints, fit some fans, sort out the boost gauge, eliminate as many leaks as possible, fit some brake ducting, etc. Hopefully the first two jobs will be done by the 14th ready for Combe, but we shall see.
