Am just wondering what mpg you are getting for a 1.2 petrol engine?

Each month an averaging 42mpg, is this normal for my 2015 1.2 petrol panda?

Thanks

Over my year of ownership I've achieved an average of 47mpg (calculated by me, not the car. The car estimates around 4mpg higher).

And that's me trying to be efficient; so light throttle application, lots of coasting, not over-slowing for corners (that's the fun bit!). I only drive around once a week, usually on rural backroads, so no motorways and rarely dual carriageways.
I think i've read other say they get well above 50 when trying, so I'm probably not doing a good job.

My routes are usually quite hilly though which doesn't help. I noticed a decent drop in efficiency when I was doing a lot of journeys back and forth to my parents house, which has a particularly steep hill to navigate each way.
 
45 but lots of short journeys under 2 miles, took it out yesterday for a 30 mile drive due to needing a run.
