Mine spends most of it's time driving the Mrs to work, 6ish miles of town driving, usually pretty heavy traffic, comfort drive mode. Ferrying to kids around most evenings. She gets 28.4mpg.

I normally get 32ish, town driving, less traffic, comfort mode.

We go to the Wales coast quite regularly, 130 miles of motorway and country roads, but I've never checked the mpg on that trip. I will do next time, but I'm not expecting great things, I like to make good progress...

I had a Vectra years ago and really tried as hard as I could for about 3 weeks to get the consumption up as high as I could, I got to 30mpg. I drove like a saint, but it averaged around 28mpg no matter how I drove it anyway. So in response to can I be bothered. No I can't.
