Don't bother... The savings really aren't worth the effort and you'll make your car look stupid in the process!!! HAHAHAHA!

Sorry, not the best advice, really....

are you sure yours is a v6? I couldn't even get 46.4 mg from my 1.8 vectra. 30 is the limit in the cdx.

Lol its a v6 only going off the computer going to work it out miles to cost when I get back went too newcastle beginning of the month it worked out 31mpg average. Want to see what this run amounts to as its a good 900 - 1000 mile journey . Hopefully give me a better reading ragging a twingo around at the min
