Scotland trip

Just got back from a 1000 mile Scotland trip to Fort William. The roads were stunning through the mountains and I think I fell in love with driving again!
Anyway, I was pushing the car quite a bit and was expecting around 30-35mpg.
I brimmed the tank on 3 occasions and was very surprised with the outcomes.
First run - 366m - 8.18g = 44.74mpg
2nd run - 244m - 6.22g = 39.23 mpg
3rd run - 378m - 8.17g = 46.27 mpg

Now, either Im calculating this badly or that K series is just an exceptionally good engine?
Just to note, I took the cone filter off and replaced it with the OM airbox for the trip.
Heres some pics from the journey. Id recommed the 150 mile strech from Glasgow to Fort Willaim to anyone.
