Hi everybody. This is not a problem, just a query. When I tell friends and relatives that I'm getting 35 mpg from my 1998 W202 C180 Esprit Auto Petrol, they look at me as if I have lost my mind, with mutterings of "Can't get that sort of economy from an 1800 Automatic.... especially one...

When I switch the car off & get out, I can hear a hissing noise coming from behind the passenger side front wheel. It sounds like air leaking from a tyre but it isn't the tyre & it stops after a while. Nothing seems to be wrong. Is this normal or is something going wrong??
