I only got 41mpg. I was expecting much better than that. Does it take some time before the averages are worked out? I zeroed everything when I picked thed car up.
Also, zeroed setting B whist on the motorway at 82mph and the average speed showed 76 mph??

You've got to help out the motor yourself.
If you wish to drive at such speeds I would assume that you accelerate to those speeds, after slowing down occasionally, with great enthusiasum!
Give the poor motor a chance.
You've got to pay for that performance somewhere!
