and I have proved that if you drive moderately and let it pick speed gently then I save on fuel ... I know you get the drift
Totally true. Alfa Romeo Owners Club have an annual Economy Run to Naivasha which demonstrates this. Was held the other weekend and was quite annoying especially after the end of the dual carriageway, since I wasn't doing any economy driving myself! Maintenance plays a big role. Worn piston rings, old spark plugs or simply a clogged air filter are examples of stuff that will definitely ramp up your consumption, but driving style is definitely a major contributor to good/bad consumption.
