Tuning for economy
#1
I've just taken ownership of a '99 Meridian with 169k miles on the clock to replace a Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi which I was using for my commute to work each day - about 55 miles of A roads each way - and the Corsa was regularly returning 64mpg brim to brim running on BP fuel with Millers additive.

What can I do to the 306 to squeeze a little more out of it ? I'm not interested in out and out power as my commute has no overtaking opportunities to speak of so I spend most of the journey pootling along at 55-60mph.

A remap has been suggested - is there anyone that can do it in Wiltshire/Dorset - and what else can I try aside from making sure the boot is empty, tyres are up to pressure and the car is well serviced ?
