Down hear in Cornwall we do suffer lower mpg figures as the roads are twisty with hills that require constant gear changes. However the 180 has such a wonderfully flexible power delivery I simply sit in 4th most of the time!! Last year I returned 27+ mpg which I didn't think was to bad? This year i'm doing 30 odd which I can only put down to fitting a new plenum and fixing the clutch judder :)
The other trick is to resist the temptation is planting your right foot ;)

Mpg wont be the best.. it is a v6 after all but on a recent run down to st ives in my 127k 180 it managed 420 miles to a full tank although i admit i sat at 65mph all the way as was convoying but with a lead foot deffo less than 300 miles to a tank.

Still enjoying mine too much, 270 from the last tank.
I am just about to give the car some lovely Bardahl engine oil tomorrow and got some Bardahl fuel improver free to try so we'll see if that works - every faith in Bardahl products and even more when it's free
