That is impressive. If I drive from where I am, Bathgate West Lothian to Albert Dock in Liverpool it takes me just under half a tank.
Rafsteve have you had yours remapped?
I think mine is in need of a very good service and new air filter, which I will be fitting Sunday ?

Awesome. I would say in mine for normal driving to work etc I get around 40mpg and around 50mpg on a long motorway drive.

So extra 10mpg that you get in your car for a motorway drive would probably be about right I would say.

I really want to get mine remapped but just don't have the money for it at the moment - got quoted by a garage near by for £200 to get 205bhp. I think I worked out I would make the money back in fuel after 2.5 - 3 years.

I got mine done for £200 and got 209 BHP and could be sooner depending on how you drive, dont forget the fun factor too!

The fun factor would be a big bonus haha

I had a new DMF and clutch fitted and I'm now getting 48mpg. On a good road to a place about 25 miles away the journey averaged at 65mpg. So, I think the mpg is dependant on the road of course, but also not sure if the DMF/clutch would improve this either, but looks to have done so.

It was under warranty from my dealer, but I did get a quote from a local garage and it would have been £700 for the DMF and about £1k for the DMF and clutch.

45mpg combined!?

Currently see 60mpg ish on the 8 mile town driving I do 6x a week up and down hill with a small section 50mph zone.
Often see over 70mpg when doing a motorway trip (these are the computer readings though not actually calculated)

Mine does have a DPF delete + remap though

I suspect your trip computer is being confused try doing a brim to brim test instead

Last time I brimmed the tank I did 600 miles and still had a 1/4 tank left. Cruise control set to 75mph speedo. 90% of that motorway driving too
And my current town driving I get around 250 miles off 22-23 litres but I do also avoid peak times which will help a lot
works out around 50mpg town driving. Still, not complaining from that!

My average fuel bill a month is around £300.

I do around 110 miles a day commuting to and from work and 95% is motorway usage.

Ill happily whizz up and down at 85 and after 400 miles, ill have about 1/4 of a tank. This past week I've been sticking around 56-58 mph and after 4 days on and doing 440ish miles, I've done just over half a tank and averaging around 57MPG according to the trip computer.

Takes a few extra minutes on my journey but cheaper on the pockets.
