All the info you're looking for is here (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=phH9jJ7FuSBeEt5Enh48DSg&hl=en_GB&pli=1). If you want to add your data then you will need to PM me your email address and I will add you to the list of people with permission to add data.

What happened to the spreadsheet access being by "sticky" ?

By the way you may get more people filling in data if you don't have price info - just a thought? Then we would all have access to unique data. What fails and when and so on.

Why haven't more people filled in their data?

All info is optional. Just fill in the bits that you want to and leave the rest blank.  :y

If you want the spreadsheet to be a sticky topic, PM the admin team and ask, I have but have not been successful so far. I guess that the more demand there is, the more chance that it will be stickied.

I think the reason that more people haven't filled in data is that the topic keeps falling off the bottom after a day or two.

Keep posting.  :y :y

Is there anyway to improve MPG apart from not flooring it in an auto.

Post by: Golfbuddy on 11 November 2007, 19:23:03

If it's an auto, try not flooring it.  :y

Good servicing, correct cam timing, and gearbox software upgrade (mini facelift on)

Good point, well made.

Edit: If it's an auto, try not pressing the accelerator so close to the floor so often.  :y
