Well, if you upshift to 7th gear instead of cruising in 3rd at 80 mph that would help out on your mpg.
It's hopeless, I've tried to get that in his damn head forever now........... Just hope that CT doesn't drive like that

All I know is that I'll be drafting behind you and not in front of you.
Don't forget your V1's guys!
Dan: I'll be sure to bring my spare V1 to loan out to you for the weekend.

I've seen how you drive ECF. I'm surprised you're even getting double digits!

I have too many blemishes on the front already so it won't matter. Wish BMW made a regular leather bra so I can take it on and off for long trips.

Do you want to sell that spare V1
I've got one V1 *hardwired* into my M5. On those cloudy/rainy days that I have a chance to drive the 328i or Mini I'll drop the V1 spare into that car.
I don't mind loaning it out though when I'm not using it.
