So i want to buy an accord euro...

how did you manage to get those figures!!! impressive... i dont think im able to have that readings in my car...

Just normal driving, cruise control set about 5 kph above posted speed limit. I guess the right conditions help considerably as do a few little tricks to achieve better economy without driving slowly. It helps that I live in the country where there are no traffic jams.

what are the "few tricks" if you may share? haha..

to achieve good economy you need to reduce wind resistance, an easy way to do that is to find a suitable rig & tuck in nice & close, he will pull you along if you get my drift. You just need to be alert at all times. then you need to consider hills as your enemy & declines as your friend. If you want to know more pm me your email add & I will forward you an article I found years ago called Hypermileing. It gives you lots of little hints & from there it is a matter of learning to drive that way, which is not easy especially as I was a renowned leadfoot in my younger days. still am on occasions. A CU2 auto goes well at 4800RPM in top..... lol.

Pmed! thx...

Syd-> melb MIGHT be just possible, don't think i'm game enough to try it though =P
