I miss those days
It was only a pound a litre when I started in '09....
Tbh, driving for economy isn't hard, I pretty much drive carefully or on cruise control most of the time these days, its all about momentum......until I get bored or road rage haha.....but I find a few good overtakes in a journey is just as fun as doing as the whole thing ar 100mph but uses a lot less fuel.
It's also much more economical to overtake slow people and stick to around 45 or 50 than it is stuck behind them when they can't keep a constant speed and are between 25 and 35 all the time (pike a lot if old people on my road!). Only problem with that is it takes off so quickly (when you eventually hit boost) you end up doing 80 through the 40 limit by accident. Especially if I've just been the driving the nad.
