637miles to £60 of diesel can't be bad!!
Heheh yes you could say it is 'slightly modified' (check my build thread in the projects section )

When i pootle along a-raods i get closer to 50-55mpg i will be honest, but i drive at outside lane speeds on the motorway (at 3000rpm) and the economy takes a bit of a hit; and that is where i spend most of my time travelling
