Just managed another, very very near, 400miles to a tank! :-P which is about 43mpg, 300miles is 34mpg. i think i may have the one car which does what the manual suggests! i'm genuinely impressed! if you don't believe me, i'm doing a trip to france from somerset the 15th, i'll post the photos of the dash including clock and the odd mileage sign to show it's genuine :-) the car has no modifications but was doing motorway miles at just below 70mph.
