eco drive,, fugit , i drive, if i need fuel i need fuel,,
...and don't get me started on the START-STOP....

to the OP - hot/cold tyre pressure is not THAT different, I noticed that when checking the pressure, assuming I am trying to have 33PSI in every tyre, when I am pumping them up after heavy driving I am putting +1PSI to compensate for expansion, so 34 in each. When car is cooled down and I am checikig pressure when not driving, its usually around 33 then. Just so you know.

speed limit is that, a limit to not go Over,, nowt wrong doing 25 in a 30
round here there is a BS 20zone for the skools,, (thats another rant,, teach the little sh*ts road saftey NOT bugger cars up with "speed humps designed to rip the a*se out of a tank/20mph zones) , for the reason that the little S*hits havent a clue 15 is as fast as i will go,,
