I intend on going down the 'hypermiling' route and getting absolute maximum MPG through a combination of basic modifications and very careful driving. I'm hopeful of hitting 40mpg, but fully expect about 30mpg to be my starting point (60 miles daily, 90% motorway and a-road).

I like a challenge!
I bought it 6 weeks ago but waited for my insurance policy to expire to start afresh. Started driving today so will get early indications of fuel economy over the next few days. My commute remains unchanged so my predictions of 30mpg as a starting point are staying for now.
