Reality though I go by amount of miles I get from a full tank and the most I have achieved is 940 miles. Mostly motorway driving with appx 100 miles of town driving in that figure. Speed about 60mph

Car was bout with one of those chips fitted that is supposed to boost power and MPG

60mpg! I've seen it for very short periods after filling up and resetting the trip computer but it soon drops to around 40.....
Maybe that's because I didn't realise these cars could go as slow as 60mph on motorways, at "keeping up with the fast lane rep traffic speeds" we usually get around 700 from a tank
