You can't "use energy", it's a transfer of energy. Going downhill you have a mixture of chemical energy from the engine combined with gravitational potential energy pulling the car down the hill transferring to kinetic energy (movement). This means the car needs to provide less energy to travel...
You can't really compare how many miles you get to £10. The price of fuel constantly fluctuates so £10 of fuel today is not the same amount as £10 of fuel tomorrow.
Welcome.
You'll learn pretty quickly that the F4R engine is very hard to get power out of without throwing some serious money at it for the likes of T/SC or ITB's etc.
With the mods you have planned, you'll be lucky to get 175bhp out of it !
I find that Speedtest is very subjective and can vary greatly on the time of day, how many people are online in your area etc.
I pay for 60mb broadband and doing Speedtest at varying times of the day can give me readings of anywhere between 2mb and 140mb.
Check on the back of the engine. There should be a black box and you'll probably find it is rubbing against some wires for the ECU. This is common to throw some dodgy error codes.
You can remove the black box, tape up any bare wires and refit the box or just leave the box off completely.
Best to get it plugged in to a diagnostic code reader to find out the exact cause of the light being on.
Could be a number of things from a lambda sensor, to spark plugs/HT Leads/Coil pack or even the Crankshaft sensor.
Sorry but you pulled out into someones path. No matter how fast they were going, you still pulled out on them. Doesn't matter how far out you managed to get, all that proves is you can't judge how long it takes to get your car clear of the junction and that you can't judge how fast someone else...
Better to get the car plugged in to CLIP or a code reader that can handle Airbag codes on Renaults rather than replace ECU's as the new ECU will just find the same fault and throw the light on itself
What you going to offer then? 10 bob and a packet of wotsits? Then likely sell a wheel nut for £150 because it's MEGA RARE, lightweight and made of gold.

More than likely your driving style that's causing it.
I would be inclined to give it a good service too though, spark plugs, oil and filter change, air and fuel filter and maybe even a lambda sensor.
Welcome mate. We seem to be gaining a lot of Scottish members recently.
All the meets can be found here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?123-Scotland but you'll need to become a full member before you can post in the section.
From what I've read, changing the bumper to fit non-sport wings is a bit of a ball ache and the bumpers are almost impossible to shift come selling up time.
You are probably better getting a bumper, wings and skirts as a package.
Best to get it on a code reader as it will tell you what has caused the light to come on.
Not much point in doing things without knowing what caused the fault.
LOL at this. It doesn't matter how fast a car is travelling. If I see someone coming down a road at 100mph, I wouldn't pull out on him just because they are doing something they shouldn't be ! I pull out when there is a large and safe enough gap for me to get out without causing other road users...
So my father and I decided since it was a nice day to climb Ben Lomond and complete my first "Munro" (a mountain in Scotland higher than 3000 feet).
Ben Lomond sits on the shores of Loch Lomond and at a height of 3,196 feet gives some good fantastic views of the loch and further afield to...
