ah wouldnt really worry about it owdblade...us 1y'ers are gettin 35+ round town n 40+ on a run anyway......we couldnt afford to run our bus if we were gettin 20+ mpg.....

incidently on the free wheeling subject..my brother did a "safed"(spelling)course last year at work,to improve economy whilst delivering goods round the country.....hes been taught to keep revs in the green(around 2,000rpm)....and to change at 2000rpm,and to freewheel to junctions.......also block changing gears.....unladen he starts off in 1st straight to third then to 5th if possible.....saves a lot of fuel,but wouldnt work with our buses tho................oh jn buy the way guys eets 17 weeks to christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One way to waste loads of fuel is drive around Coventry ringroad or Brum in rush hour

These save you LOADS of fuel.... why do you think the splitz and bay windows use em
