Just done a round trip to Germany - 895 miles in total....

Brimmed the tank before leaving - re-filled it in Luxembourg 5 miles into return journey with 440 miles showing, fuel light had only just come on with display showing 60 miles remaining....

Tank took 57 litres (at £1.05 per litre), which by my calculations works out at just over 35mpg - 95% of the run had been at 80mph....

Rest of trip clocked up 455 miles, with detours for lunch in Bruges, shopping in Calais, and a takeaway near home - fuel light came on at 435 miles with display showing 55 miles remaining, switching to 'Fuel' shortly before reaching home....

Have yet to re-fill, but anticipating it'll take about 62 litres, working out at just over 33mpg for the return trip, which with the additional urban miles meant only 90% was at 80mph....

Making the average for the entire trip just over 34mpg - good, or bad?
