It was super on the trip though, couldn't have done without the aircon, temp actually read 39 on Sunday!!
I have an 09 and mine is bang on 32mpg for the last three fuel ups (my calculation) but usually says 35mpg on the OBC, so that sounds pretty good to me. I towed my caravan with it for the first time the other day, only a short trip, but my mpg was barely affected, which surprised me. I've noticed mine tends to use the engine to brake on long downhill slopes so I switch to geartronic and change up when that happens and it can make a slight difference.
