Hi MTC,
Yes, your definitely right about a steady speed (even if it's pretty high) being more economical than up-and-down-up-and-down. For the time being, however, I'm running her in: ie. driving her pretty gently most of the time, and then injecting the odd 3000rpm burst.
On the subject of mpg, I've come across a thread (to which you have contributed), in which the mpg on the EVIC is measured in US gallons (possibly depending on date of manufacture). My EVIC gives me a choice of US or litres, and I was wondering if the choice on UK models should read IMP (ie. Imperial) or litres. My owner's manual still hasn't arrived (surprise, surprise!), so I can't look it up. Any insight much appreciated...best. John W
