I've got about 6 years of fuel and mileage logs for my car and from April 2013 - April 2018 I drove approximately 28,800 miles and used approximately 4888 litres of fuel. A little bit of maths reveals the average mpg (UK gallons) is...

26.78
Very similar figures to mine in the same date range. 29,615 miles, 4854 litres used, 27.73 mpg.

I've got a 2.3 HP Turbo with an Auto box. Absolute worst case (town driving, stop start, short journeys) I get 18mpg. I once did a 60mph motorway run for about 50 miles, brimming the tank at the same place at each end, and got 40mpg which was just weirdly amazing!
On a 400mile weekend away which was 33% 60mph on the motorway, 33% country roads and towns and 33% 75mph on the motorway I got 32mpg.
Not that I noticed it as they are so bloomin' comfy!
