I'm still in newbie mode so I'm topping up and checking my fuel consumption very strictly.
On a journey up the M3; round the M25 and up the A12 to Bentley and back I got 36.1mpg. How embarrassing is that.
In my defence I'll say traffic was heavy - but moving at a steady 60mph and there was not a lot of opportunity to V-Tec.
The tank had Optimax in with a half tank of Esso equivalent.
When I refuelled at South Mimms on the way back I got my 36.1mpg
Mind you - I needed to. 96.7p for Ultimate!!!!
I'm getting Optimax for 91p in Hampshire (and paid less than 90p in Derby last week)

i regularly get 38+ on my daily commute (mostly M5).

 

Very embarassing!

I've driven gently now and again in traffic, but still never get anywhere near that. Are your calcs pretty accurate?

 

I only get 23-25 miles per gallon !!

i get 20

 

I havent a clue what i get, or what it costs, and i don't care

 

I'm a sad git. I can account for every penny of fuel that has gone into the car barring that used to do the 195 miles it had on the clock when I picked it up.

I'm averaging a little under 25mpg.

 

I was consistently getting 24.5 mpg so stopped measuring. I think that driving with the airbox cover off may have hurt it a bit as the last few times I got the odd reading in the 23's, but it seems to be forever in that 23-25 range so I can't be ar$ed anymore ...

 

If I do an average tank (a bit of playing, a lot of stop start traffic, and some motorway cruising) it's about 27mph.

If I do a long motorway cruise then it's similar mpg to what you mention - 3-400 miles per tank, as opposed to 240 normally!

 

THAT is slow!!!

I know you've got a few points, but that is ridiculous
