Anyone had a similar experience?

Incidentally, managed a 52mpg average over the trip. Probably more down to the relatively empty motorways and endless 50mph stretches whilst 'smart motorway' upgrades are undertaken than good fuel management on my part. Now, if only I could get my commute above 42.
Occurs to me not all pressure gauges are accurate and also measuring the tyres hot as opposed to cold means they must have lost pressure to measure the correct amount when hot.
