If you still think you are immortal i.e. below 28 yrs of age knock about 10 mpg off what you should be getting!!

I'm under 28 and average 43 Mpg in a Xantia mostly on the dual carriageway. Limiting my top speed to 60mph got my average up to 48.

I know I don't understand how the hell I get it so low. This was with a bottle of Wynns injector cleaner in it too. For the first 200 miles or so it was a run to Birmingham and back, averageing >70 but <85. The rest was mixed driving around Peterborough so mainly parkways with some in town stuff. My driving style is I'd say reasonably push on ie I always seem to be leaving 'slow' traffic behind but I rarely put the pedal to the metal so to speak and rarely travel above 80mph. Maybe 20 or so miles out of the tankful were spent driving properly hard with full revs through the gears.
Anything over 3500RPM in 5th and your fuel consumption is likely to be in the late 20's. I know.

I do from my house to Birmingham and back 3 days a week thats 208 miles a day on 1/2 a tank per time..When I set off again the next day £15 is enough to get it there and back again!! I think thats pretty impressive really. Thats keeping up with M-way speeds as well, not poodling along at 55mph in an economy run or 3 figures in the other extreme. Sort of 75ish to the odd 90 I suppose.
PS I am 36.
