Well, Awfully sorry parkers, but my wishful thinking 75 has beaten your figures yet again.
I topped up with 42.76 ltrs on Sunday, having covered 532 miles since my previous fill.
According to my calculations this equates to 56.5 mpg.
My journeys were predominantly motorway miles doing 60 -70 mph, except where the persistent roadworks limit us to 50 mph on the M6 and M1.
My display however was showing 58.8 mpg so the accuracy of this is not as good as last time.
I'll be filling up again tomorrow ready for next weeks travels, so I can check again against parkers figures.
