just upped my mpg

my tdv8 was advaregeing around 18mpg town driving and i thought it was a bit low then discovered my fron brembos were slightly binding, put a new set off pads in it and its now gone up to 20 in 2 days and still climbing, just need to give it a good run on the motorway to see what its doing, my last 230 miles run said 25mpg

i bought a lazer heat sensor gun and when i have been on a run i shine the lazer on all four discs to see that the readings are all the same, i didnt really notice them binding untill i had seen the temps they were reading
