Not had mine long and enjoying it greatly. Happy hunting!
Ooo, yours is manual and you seem to get the same as ian. Those were the figures I was expecting, but look at scoobys? I could buy one at scoobys figures, but dropping down to 21 is a bit rough.

Are you taking these from the trip computer or working them out manually?

I take mine from the Trip computer which basically sits at 27-29 during the week, its sitting at 33.6 but that's as I did a 400 mile journey last week so the economy went up, if I drive carefully it sits at 29 and if I drive it non carefully it sits at 27mpg, I've never seen mine drop below 26mpg on the trip. I'm not sure how accurate the trip is but basically its costs me about £20 a week in petrol which is what my previous T4's cost me so I'm happy :-)

I did a run to birmingham last week, mine is an auto and with mainly motorway and a little A road my trip read 38.3 mpg. I get about 22/23 mpg around town again going on the trip readout.
