I wish I was getting that kinda MPG...30.6 mpg is the average in my baby 1.2 
That's 107 miles to college and back so all round town and it's used only a few litres apparently....
The first half seems to last forever then the last half goes really quick. Anyone else find this?
Oh and I'm parked on a perfectly straight bit of road called my drive

That's the thing....it's probably used half a tank if it's doing 30mpg but the gauge says otherwise!

That fcuked me off about my old Corsas, the first half would last for ages and ages and the last half would go after 50 odd miles.

Don't use the petrol gauge it lies. Use the odometer.

I can get 250 miles out of the 1st half of the gauge then once it drops below 20 litres it goes down really quickly and only get 100-150 god knows how that works!
