As above, long weekend away 800miler round trip, tho must say i was staying within (around) the relative speed limits with short overtaking bursts before settling down again, managing 34mpg over the tank full.
Not bad i thought?
Is it good / bad? \:\)

Very good I'd say.

I'm driving like a complete grandad and struggling to get any better than 30mpg on my daily commute (25 miles averaging 40mph, mixed).

Not bad for your shortish runs every day, i'd get below 28 normally but with the price of fuel and the coupes' usual thirst i thought she'd done quite well.

Just another plus point to having a coupe. \:D

31mpg of late.

I try to target doing 40 miles per each 8th of a tank notch on the fuel gauge... not that I stare at it constantly or anything.

I normally get about 28mpg, although on a run I did manage about 35mpg.

Not too bad considering the performance.

My MPG is pretty bad (23 ish), I think I need a new lanbda sensor even though the one I have is new (NGK), time for an original one I think...

I'd be very satisfied with that from a coop. My fuel consumption varies between 12 and 60+ mpg. Bet you can't tell which car does which mpg \:D \:P

I've been getting 400 miles from a tank, £60, I think thats about 32mpg and that is driving like a saint. anything above 30mpg is very good.

I get around 31 mpg on the motorway - not strictly economical driving and about 21 mpg on the commute - very heavy traffic

i've recently been travelling more miles recently and on longer runs the plus returns around 35mpg. latest fill up i managed 37.6mpg could have been better but i was sat in traffic for a long time and a few bursts to releive the boredom. i think the 6th gear really helps as it cruises at 70mph at 2500rpm.
