500's Consumption Data

I'm proposing we put a sticky thread up where we all contribute our fuel consumption figures in a set format so everyone can see them instead of a) scouring for threads asking about consumption b) creating a new thread asking.

All I think we'd need is model, distance, average speed, average consumption and a tiny description of the type of driving we were doing. For example...

1.3 Sport (unmodified 75bhp)
Distance: ~360 Miles
Average Speed: 70mph
Average Consumption: 44.3mpg

Motorway driving, fair tanking it down but no sudden braking/accelerating - speed stayed around the 75-80 mark with gradual flings into the 80s

Re: Member Consumption Data

1.4 Sport, button always on.
4500 miles.
Averaging close to 50 mpg now (highest 49.7).
Usually driving on motorway and town/country roads.
Will have to remember to check the average speed next time I finish a tank off but have a feeling the last tank average was somewhere in the 30's for mph.
