On the motorway I doubt there is enough in it to warrant a diesel, I can just about stretch 40 out of the T5 on long commutes. Around town is terrible though, talking 23-26 tops ![]()

u for real? I have never seen average higher than 30 on mine and its when I drive 60MPH in highway with cruise control on (with a proper grandda' hat on :P ) but reality is I never do as I drive very aggresively. Actual average on daily comute (half country roads half city traffic) is 23-24 max and only when I try hard.

Sadly I only do these a few times a year as I live 6 miles away from work and most of my other journeys are fairly short, hence the average 24mpg at the moment ![]()

On motorway with a bit of spirited driving though, it'll happily be sat in the 30's ![]() I always use super unleaded, it'll help a little with MPG but not by any huge margins.

Not a bad guess at all, now I've nipped up a boost leak (still slight upon checking yesterday) and moving back to BP Ultimate diesel I'm getting 38mpg again, grannying about will see early 40's and best I've had on a motorway run is 55mpg!

I'm averaging 26mpg doing a 16 mile round trip to work including an even mix of open country roads, dual carriageway and a heavy crawl into the town.
I've had 40mpg on long easy A-roads before and 36mpg on motorways.
