37.67 MPG for me. Covered 290 Miles total on Optimax. From a full 43 Litre tank. Hammered it on the way back though Including trying to catch Matty G

Good fun Drove the thing pretty much flat out for 80 miles on the A34.

Also using a 1.2 to try and keep up with peeps is not too good for fuel

Sounds about right. I've worked it out in the past with my dad and it gets around 10MPG. Unbelievable I know, I think the superchip has something to do with it.

I did 180 miles all together, no idea how to work it out as ive not even hit halfway in the tank yet.

But my MPG computer was telling me i was doing 38mpg @ 75 in 6th
and 36.5 @ 80mph with a/c on

Then on the way back, i only averaged 33-34

No idea why!

Maybe something to do with charge temps? Bet you it was 10degrees C hotter on the drive home at 3pm than 8am in the morn. Dunno if thatd make a huge difference (hotter charge = less power = needing to put foot down = more petrol???
