My last three tanks have been around 38mpg (long work commuting runs).

This drops to 25mpg with constant town driving or 40mpg with constant motorwar driving.

Actually I don't know. It was a trip to Heathrow, through the long roadworks (50mph) at the top
of the M25. Together with normal commuting resulted in 40mpg (measured using the brim/odometer method).

I've seen plenty of other posters claiming even higher MPG, but my max is 40.

My car is manual, running 17"s and I always keep a close watch on tyre pressures.
