Blimey! 31 you say! I've a 740 turbo estate which i'm scared to take on a long run due to its thirst. As you say, does around 20 round town but also on medium runs. The guage drops at a frightening rate. Does yours run on Super? I believed Turbo's can only take Super. Combine 20 mpg with Super Unleaded and it's an expensive combination!
Any tips?

Give it a good service, clean out injectors, check if running rich due to faulty O2 sensor, and run on 95. No problems.
