I've had a couple of tankfuls when 80% of the driving has been motorway / open road / long trip. These have worked out at about 52 - 54mpg measured brim to brim.
However, I do cruise on m-ways at 80+mph, and exploit the car's overtaking punch (there's a LOT of it!).
You might get close to 60mpg in warmer weather, but remember the car has 181bhp and weighs 1700kg ....
