20mpg round town, 25 if driven like a fairy. 31-33mpg on the Mway.
Best car I've eve owned, sounds amazing, goes like stink, practical and a very rewarding to drive with seemingly limitless levels of grip.
They eat rear springs, alternators and window regulators
Other than that they are pretty solid. Most reliable car I've ever owned too

Wiill be better than my auto cab on fuel Wazza. Average about 25mpg which is a mixture of town and long hauls.
Would have got one instead if the insurance wasnt 3k

I know the M5 is a bit different but Ive not managed anymore than 17mpg, I get single figures most of the time. If I didnt work half a mile from home then I wouldnt be able to afford it!

I'm getting about 170odd miles to £30 in the MX5, I think that's bad
