Can't believe the fuel economy everyone seems to be getting. If I drive carefully with AC off I struggle to get out of the mid 20's... Typically I average 23 mpg. However, I guess it IS winter and I also do a lot of London driving which means: Stop, start, stop, start, brake for speed bump, accelerate again, brake for next speed bump, slow down for craters in road surface, wait in traffic jam caused by someone double parking, get stuck in large queue which never used to be there until they put a bus lane in, etc...

Drove to Birmingham recently and with the motorway run etc, my tank lasted for 350 miles, rather than the 220 odd I normally get.
