Well we have had our 500 1.2s for a week now and I am very pleased with the overall MPG of 51.5.
How is everyone else doing??

Is thats from the MPG trip computer, or what you've manually worked out? If not the latter then I suspect that its probably a overestimation and it probably nearer 42-46mpg from experience.

Yeah spot on!
Day 14 today for ours! Brimmed it...
From the trip total miles covered, with unleaded here is 1.29 and 35 litre tank - thats 7.7 gallons, all in all 45 mpg.... Trip computer shows 50.1
But from learnt here, we know the economy will improve once more miles are covered :)
 
From careful observations over about 20,000 miles, my trip computer overreads by an average 3-4 mpg. Cross checking over a single tank or two is not sufficient to pick this difference up.

In the UK, the difference between my winter & summer mpg is at least 10%.

Economy will certainly improve as the engine gains a few more miles.
