Funny you mention that as I'm one step ahead of you.
I have a collegue who travels 50 miles each way and complained about her fuel economy. She became intrigued after I mentioned the idea in passing. Anyway, I have the space and she has the initiative.
I'm steering her towards a 123 or 201 for simplicity's sake.
I was going to get one for myself and run B100, but we don't drive enough with our existing 4 cars to justify having a fifth. Given our close promity to work, it's a serious struggle to even put a few hundred miles/month on even our new Volvo S60 T6.
Instead, I'll experiment with my 240D so long as I can have peace of mind that I'm not doing any harm. I might not even limit myself to low percentages if I find myself driving it more.
