I ignore the green leds I find keeping the car below 3500rpm (I have a 1.8 petrol and the i-shift it seems to do this for me anyway) and using the cruise control does the trick if you're worried about consumption. 5.6l/100km is like over 50 mpg which unless I am driving in scotland, wales or in the middle of the night I wouldn't expect the prevailing traffic conditions to allow me to get anywhere near that... anything around 47mpg (6l/100km) and I am happy.....
