Well I managed a brilliant (for me) 41 MPG after a refil last night, did around 30 miles, well pleased.

The basic concept I used was, as soon as I hit 35-38 MPH, go right across into 6th and cruise until acceleration required again. As I came to roundabouts I was going from 6th and 30 MPH down to 2nd.

Probably sounds like a basic concept to most but it has taken me a while to learn that 4th and 5th gear are only really needed for rash overtaking on the motorway....
