I am inspired.
My wagon R needs a fuel up and I am going to try driving like this for atleast 200 kms before I fill her up again.
Let me see, what figures I might end up getting.
However I will not drive at 40 kmph as I think 5th gear at 60kmph is the better bet.
Anyone else planning to try this on thier cars may well do so, we might have the beginings of a fine thread coming up.
