just did a rough workin out of my mpg since last fill up, and came up with a figure of 39.5mpg :o

i thought this was pretty damn good for the 1.6, specially as i aint exactly been tryin to drive conservtivly.

maybe its running too lean?

been told about resetin the ecu, reckon that mite help?


:-?
