Best was 310 (but there was still 8 litres left in the tank. Damn you pessimistic fuel gauge!!)
Worst was 205 thanks to the great roads of Wales, but there was a lot of motorway to get there so if it had all been Welsh roads then I doubt I would have seen more than 150

It is hard to measure due to the shitty fuel gauge, I can drive to work and it shows no bars when I get therem, then 2 when I leave, how the hell can you measure your fuel consumption from it?

Hmm, I think your maths may be a tad up the creek (or maybe accuracy of the fill-up). It's good, but it's not THAT good! 
Check out my original thread (a few years ago).
The maths, fill up etc. was all correct.

Cool...glad to hear im getting the same sort of mileage as you guys...was thinking my it might be time to get my 'map sensor' checked(if indeed that is what governs the engine's proformance) but seems i dont need to.

guess with my normal mix of driving about 25mpg.
interestingly though on slow runs london/chester doing say 80 on the motorway i would get 29 but on late night runs where doing 90-100 getting 27.
