Not going anywhere to be honest except it's useful as a buyers guide or when people have a problem with their car and see what other people are getting mpg wise. Thanks for your info

Average MPG: 39
Best MPG: 43
Worst MPG: 36

Used in mixed driving, a 13 mile commute with motorway, A-4oad and a bit of urban, rush hour stuff I usually average around 40mpg on a tankful. On a recent holiday, over 800 miles of fast motorway, stationary and crawling motorway, and pottering around we averaged 41mpg, but this came down from about 43mpg thanks to a 2-hour delay when stuck on a crawling M5.

It seems to be as economical at 75-80 cruising as it is on my commute. Best numbers are if I set cruise and bimble along at 60 or so, but traffic rarely makes that possible hereabouts.

Almost never used for journeys under 20 miles (had old Jazz for that) 70k miles, central console infront of driver shows 49.3mpg. Never been able to reset it,now don't try. In the display which houses the navigation maps there's a setting which allows mpg to be shown for each journey. Anything over 50+miles on dual carriage way + motorway it will return 55+mpg.
