Please remember it's a ten year old 2.5 v6 auto
I put £20 in and get roughly 75-80miles out of it.

I have a v6 and my £20 gets me around 60 miles round town.
I have a 2.5 V6 auto that is currently averaging 23.2 MPG, I can get it down to 18MPG if I try.
I don't think your MPG is unreasonable given the cold weather.

PS. SWMBO drives the diesel tourer, if I wanted economy, I'd drive the diesel.
That averages about 38 MPG in the cold weather.
I still drive the petrol out of preference though.
