Glad you're pleased anyway - post some pics up, always liked them in red  Steve

drive at 70mph insetad of 100mph! lol... but seriously, the difference between 70 and 80 (or even 60 as wardy says) is huge over a long distance... when I moved house (160 miles) and followed the truck up the motorway at 50-60 I got my best fuel economy ever on the motorway! so basically depends on how slow you're willing to drive! personally I stick to about 75
