Default New purchase... 100mpg diesel!

Bought this little toy not long ago. VW Lupo with a sweet 1.7 SDI engine, cheap tax and insurance but most importantly will get 75mpg all day long with 100mpg possible with a bit of 'hypermiling'. Fuel light was on when I bought it so I brimmed the tank (£27) and did the same after doing the 55 mile journey back home from Kent doing 70-80mph with ease and it cost £1.50.

I'm finding myself jumping in this every day and driving the S8 as a treat every now and then. It's such a fun little car however, the standard suspension is bloody awful and surprisingly it wallows around a bit so I'm considering lowering it a little, putting some different wheels on and just playing around with it a bit.
