Can I retrofit a reversing camera to an existing screen?
My daughter has a 1.2-litre petrol limited edition 2015 Vauxhall Corsa. Do you know of anyone who can fit a reversing camera to the existing screen on the car so we don't have to have an additional screen?
Or, what makes are best for purchasing rear view mirror camera, are wireless ones ok?
Also she only does local journeys and is only averaging 30mpg, is this normal or can I add an additive to increase MPG?

You're in luck - there are a number of companies (such as IntellilinkMods.com) which can fully fit a reversing camera and programme it into the existing screen for as little as £120. We'd recommend going in that direction rather than fitting rear view mirror cameras.
30mpg isn't particularly bad in town driving and if traffic is busy. It's worth considering her driving style to increase MPG: anticipating what's ahead, less hard acceleration, more coasting off throttle and less hard braking will help.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
