Quick update - to keep everyone appraised.

6 weeks since the last fill up I brimmed the car on Saturday evening - 745km from 65 litres. Sounds rubbish? It is 32.4mpg!!!!

Why so bad??

Despite the car doing 500km on the motorway - that left 245km of town driving. But still 32.4??

It has been very cold over here - and I have to do a 3 or 4 cold starts - IE engine on and outside scraping the snow and ice off the car - or worse still snow that has turned into ice!! For the conditions I am not surprised.
