This is kinda aimed at Toms306 really, as the em pee gee guru, but thought everyone else could chip in their advice as well, to make this almost like a guide I guess. Mods feel free to move the thread if you feel it's in the wrong place. 
Basically I am in Braintree at the moment for my mates radio show, but as he's a bit strapped for cash at the moment (as i think we all are), he's had to give me a bit less towards fuel. So I need to make what I've got last as best I can on the way home.
What sort of speed/rpm should I try and maintain for optimum mpg on a motorway? I was trying to keep it about 65mph/2500rpm on the way up, but had to speed up a bit towards the end of the journey due to traffic and a dwindling time limit. Made a point of sitting behind some trucks on the way up as well, whether it made ANY difference at all...
So yeah, feel free to pass on any fuel saving techniques you use, as Tesco say, every little helps!
Oh and if you like DnB music, tune in to my mates show on roughtempolive.com from now till 7. /shamelessplug
