Actual update, now I'm home..

Lake District and back, literally as fully loaded as it's possible to be, including a BIG roof bag and stuff in every footwell - 600miles of motorway (definitely 'not' doing a lot of 80-90 mph) plus the driving around the lanes for a week.. and we got stuck in about an hours worth of slow traffic on the way home

real-world calculated economy 28.4mpg for the whole trip which actually I'm pretty impressed with tbh

it sounds like you do yours pretty accurately so that's an interesting point of comparison, what are your 'usual' drives - do you do more stop/start traffic, or a lot of A roads, etc

the instantaneous mpg gauge in my old BM's used to make me chuckle as well, put your foot down and the needle disappears off the bottom of the chart, like 5mpg or something who knows
