I got 41.4mpg recorded and 40.11mpg fill up to fill up on the last tank. Other than a couple of local miles it was a 400 mile round trip over the weekend, mostly motorways, 80ish, 5 people and weekend luggage, than a 175 mile round trip today, again mostly motorway around 80ish but with only me. Tyre pressures at 2.7 bar on 17" wheels with 245/45/17 Michelin Primacy HP. Fairly gentle driving all round. Will this improve as the engine loosens up do you think?
