Actually if fuel goes up it makes it even more worthwhile.
although a 1-2mpg saving is only really going to be useful if you are in a car that does horrific economy in the first place as even doing 50K miles a year if you save 1mpg in a car already doing 35mpg its very little real saving.
For the few miles that you do, yes, if you were doing 30-50K a year though like some people do then it would be worth worrying about economy.
When fuel is such a tiny expenditure in the first place its not really worth worrying about saving it.
But for people who are spending an amount on fuel thats equivalent to their disposable income or in some cases more than it, then its well worth worrying about as to them it could mean a very significant increase in the amount of money they have to do the fun things in life, or to save for the things that matter to them.

I worked out the MPG on my 1.2 once.
Inferno 225 cup
On trip to sea side last week, I've never seen if below 35mpg tbh.
Quite a statistic!

There's a very simple reason why 1.2's aren't a huge amount better than 1*2's on MPG.
That reason is hills. Steep ones are 2nd gear at 30-40mph or you'll just slow to a halt.

I think economy is very relevant! I was doing 100 miles a day for work in a 330 at 25mpg if I was lucky. Still wanted a fast ish car but would do the motorway comute better. My 182 did the same trip for almost half the fuel costs meaning I can spend on parts I want for the car rather than petrol. If I worked 2 miles from work I'd walk and still have my 330.
I'm feeder daft.

my best was 37.3 mpg on a 220 miles trip, sticked to the speed limits and generaly rpms never passed 4000 and easy on the accelerator.
In my situation how to save fuel, use the dci, it goes on diesel so I don't use any fuel LOL.
In general, dont drive like you stole it, keep the rpms between 2-3t and brake less.

The problem with that on a 172 is if not set up correctly its quite easy to drop the exhaust valves, and even set up correctly it still increases the chance versus petrol and they are already a bit of a weak point.
Since when was diesel not a fuel?
