Its winter--so you got more electrics running-which drags alternater=more fuel used

21mpg on the last tank - 50% motorway cruise and 50% around town. I thought I was doing pretty well..

Yep most likely this 

Still not bad mpg i suppose going by what some are getting from their 3.2s, Just going to have to lay off the heated seats and drive with no lights and heater off 

It is due for another dose of Cataclean mind, Last bottle 3 moths ago tomorrow, Does say to do it every 3 months and did notice some improvements overall with idling and mpg.

Even with a new thermostat, mine is barely doing 23mpg

That said it's been doing alot of idling lately, which kills the average. A proper run is more like 28mpg

Getting 37mpg out of mine around town but then again it is a 2.2dti and that's with heated seats and heater on

Plus, as it's cold you put the heating on.... this takes warmth from the coolant, thus it's getting up to temperature slower, thus using more fuel
