What you do is go down to Tesco and buy a couple of those big bottles of vegetable oil and fill about half your tank and just fill the rest with deisel. My dad does this on long trips as it save on buying petrol.

Vegetable Oil, wtf.
Our dads just changed to that LPG in our big car. Costs a fair whack to get it changed but at 45pence a litre, if you use your car alot it will pay off eventually and then its savings lol.

What you need is a caravan and to follow a lorry we followed a car transporter for a short while on the way back from holiday and we got something stupid miles to the gallon it was mad as it was towing us along. Cant rememeber what it was but it was funny getting better fuel consumpion pulling the caravan than when we dont pull it lol but it got a bit tedious doing 55 mph so we overtook him it soon shot down again.
