Basically decided that changing at 3.5 revs etc and booting it up to speed limits was childish, so decided to start taking my time and change at 2.5K revs.

I fill up when I hit 300 miles on the meter, usually I have around 7 litres left..

After 300 miles of economic driving, I had 2 litres left... How the fuck does that work??

Though my rear tyre was 11 psi when I done my tyres today, but could that really affected it so much? I was expecting the pump to stop at 25/30L but it went all the way to 43.. .:o for the record my petrol guage doesn't work :D

3.5k revs with a small amount of throttle is more economical than 2.5k with more throttle on.

Maybe that.. :y:

4% increase in fuel consumption at 11psi. So yes, will hurt your fuel economy.
