Well, after Pete's post I thought - Well I'll have a go.

Filled her up at Tesco, to the fist click - reset the trip and I've been "Driving Miss Daisy" for a week. The only time the car's been over 3000rpm was a "progressive" drive home (15 miles) late last night as I had an early start today.

Anyway - 311 miles later - I'm back at the filling station. 46 litres. Equates to 10.11 gallons - Basically 31mpg.

Got to say that as I usually get 250 - I'm pretty chuffed and I reckon given the chance, and my ECU learned a new driving style it'd get better. But - hey ho - that's not what i've got a 180 for. Just wondered.
