Personal best

Tbh its not hard to drive efficiently. Coasting in gear up to juntions/lights/roundabouts rather than full throttle and full brakes helps. Keep a constant speed, stop slowing down for corners, hold speed uphill and coast in gear down hill. Don't go above 60ish on the motorway (this is the one I really struggle with...and 80 uses a hell of a lot more fuel!). Keep in the right gear for the speed, the 1.8 will actually do 30+ in 5th which is handy. Plan ahead and ease off the throttle to maintain a speed rather than hammering up to some slow ass and then keep braking as they brake at every corner....its probably best to overtake those twats when possible as they're just throwing away their own and your fuel... Only use ~70% of the throttle for most accelerating, its bareky different to full throttle but will save fuel.

And most of all keep calm!! I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice how much more fuel I get through when stressed!
