Totaly gobsmacked with mine today.

Put £50 of juice in, nipped into Sheffield. Collected 7 Sq Metres of 100mm tiles.  Boot was allready packed to brim with junk.

Came up the Parkway @2300 rpm indicated 64 mph and the car showed 49 to 54 mpg with out cruise.  Same run I would normally expect to 33 to45 at best.  Weather was OK, level road.  Set the cruise at that speed and went Southbound on the M1 which was uphill.  Still showed 33.1 instant mpg on cruise.

Dunno if it was a fluke, of if all the extra weight made a difference.  Also had an adult passenger.  Might never see those MPG figures again, but was interesting while it lasted.

Mine is a 2.5 auto and my journey to and from work is a mixture of dual carriageway, rural and urban. No passengers but a boot full of junk (well, actually , all car related stuff that the better half thinks Ive got rid of as she doesnt want it in the shed ;D). I average about 29mpg and thats without playing with the sports mode and reminding myself of the 9 points I still have and the local undercover patrol cars...

My 2.2 just ran for 500 miles = 35.3mpg.

Some granny driving at then end but mixed motorway and urban for the main.

I'm not sure what had the biggest effect but recently changed the oil, plugs, fuel filter and sealed the exhaust (new last year) and mpg up 10%.

My mpg has increased by about 20% on a run since I changed exhaust.  I think the back box was pretty much blocked solid.

Ok don't want to bother myself with unit conversions but my best result so far was 6.9 litres per 100 km.
Ok it's just a 4pot but think it's quite good for a car as heavy as Mig

Grrr one thing I forgot to mention.
Open road, but not leveled. Lot's of uphills downhills etc.
The consumption was even a little less than written in the car manual.
