>> I couldn't do the 24mpg!
I don't know what my 2.8i did, but it probably wasn't that!
In fact, I worsened the handling of mine, I guess, since I changed the low profile rims/tyres for some really-not-at-all-low profiles. Coincidentally I had to make a change because of buckled rims as you did, I just decide to make a comfort change and was very glad I did - it worked out well. I can't remember the sizes involved, but I seem to recall I went from 17s to 15s, although that might not be right.
I will *never* have low profile tyres again, on any car. The Phaeton [hi Al!] cured me of that habit.
Mind you, my driving style has changed dramatically, and generally I can't be bothered to make "enthusiastic progress". I'm all for wafting, these days.
Having said that, I really fancy the idea of SmileyNially's 535. I don't want to go that fast, but I really love excess power.
