Nope. It was on a 20 mile drive with pieces of motorway and some towns. But I was pretty lucky on the traphic lights and gentle on the throttle and shifting at 2400 rpm. 2400 rpm seems to be the most economic point for my car to change gears. But when you are not challenging yourself it's a bit boring. I still like to put it into second gear and blast up the motorway ramp :P.

Roundabouts are a lot better for fuel consumption then traffic lights I guess. If you take the first exit you don't have to brake at all (when there is no other car ). But you create some heat in the tyres I guess.
